Fellow Knoxville TN resident here. It's been really sad (but most certainly not surprising) to see law makers be influenced by Comcast/ATT. Comcast's recent Gig advertising around here is almost laughable. We've called i

React is obvious, it's included with nearly every front-end posting these days whether the company uses it or not. But other than that it looks like it is a good time to be a data engineer or a Gopher. I'm surprised that Go is the

I'm diving into Elixir now to compare it with Golang for a new web app backend I'm working on. I really enjoy the functional paradigm but from what I've seen deployment can be a bit annoying. Whereas with Go you can compile a

I'm in the process of learning Elixir currently. I'm completely new to functional languages but I've found this course ( https://www.udemy.com/the-complete-elixir-and-phoenix-bootca... ) to be an awesome introd
