Excellent article that has context around the how and why, which I appreciated. Pat has a great "explorer" writing style. I was going to post this last night but figured it must have been posted already. I was wrong! Nice to see i

Transitioning to a new language through the "wrap and extend" strategy is wise. Nice to see a tool popup around it. One thing that stood out to me was the reference to HTTPoison. It is remarkable how ubiquitous HTTPoison became, d

On top of all the CVEs there is also the rampant proliferation of fake Flash installers. They are just tricky enough to get less savvy users and slam them with adware or malware. Not having to install third party software to browse the inte

Working as a Temp through Randstad was my first "professional" job back as a teen in the nineties. It paid marginally more than working in a restaurant and was drastically more mind numbing. The work consisted of tasks like: forma

There is a post from the author that documents what has diverged between Elixir in Action and Elixir 1.2. More than simply updating code examples, it actually gives context around all of the changes. http://theerlangelist.com&#x2
