Enough unit testing will test everything the type system can. However, that is way more work than a good type system.

Oh the Nats server runs on one of our servers in our own rack on site. It's a bit old fashioned but does the trick.

We have a manufacturing operation with a public B2B ecommerce platform. It's just a dumb communications buss for us. It's replaced most of our ETL needs with Realtime events. If an order is placed online an event is raised. Our ac

I'm using this in production. So far it's worked very well. Took a few hours to setup with certificates. Now it just works.

Funny story, when I started my current role I researched our hosting provider. I couldn't find the matching invoices in the accounting system. So I called the vendor, a local company. They'd not set our account up correctly, billi

From this my take away is that I could get fired for picking Fly.io for work. Not because there was an outage but because days could pass before getting support. What assurances could you give the community here that the support would be be

It's a bit elitist[1]. They're saying we should expect 3x better performance from engineers. We should also expect them to write good code at this pace. The only reason we don't have these things is that most engineers are si

Sadly, I have to agree with everything that you've written there. For simple use cases templating is much better as well. It's only in complex state management that I find MVU is worth it.

In my opinion, metaphors are like a picture. They can communicate vast amounts of information very quickly but can have inaccuracies. You should expect some additional nuance when receiving a metaphor.

Yeah that does help. Packages of users draws the attention away from the per user pricing model. I don't know why but they just don't like it. Even if the numbers are the same.

Have you tried the model view update pattern? If you haven't I recommend having a look. If found it amazing for maintainability. You have to be carful to structure everything well. If not you blow up the number of messages in one file.

That's good to hear. It's one of those cancers that is normally not noticed until it's far too late.

We have a dated IP PABX. But would happily switch to another system to enable a new CMS. Thanks for the mention of close.com. As far as integrations go, for us it's an API that is critical. Our accounting system is Myob Exonet. So old

We are currently evaluating CRM packages. This is probably a bit too in development for me to recommend but I'll let you know our internal requirements so you have one extra data point in the market. Phone integration is huge for us. W

I'd love to work in "a function language". You're correct that I might not enjoy Haskell, however it might not be worth even trying if there are no jobs. I know F# and think Scala or Ocaml might be a better choice as the

Think of it this way. I like the idea of hairdressing, however I hear there are not many jobs in that field. Is it worth studying this, if my intention is to use it professionally? There is no paradox in wanting get some meta information on

Thanks, that's good to know. One of the things drawing me to learn Haskell is Higher-Kinded Types. I'd really like to learn about them and have a play. Higher-Kinded Types seem complex to me but until I have a play I wont know. Th

I do this with gitlab and Cron. Commit to main on gitlab and a ci script builds the project and sftps a zip to the staging server. A Cron job checks for new zips in the directory and unzips, then installs the update. After that it restarts

I started with F# and found that very worthwhile. I'm not sure about Haskell. I suspect it's a new level of complexity.

I like strongly typed functional languages. I'd like to pick up Haskell and wondering if it would increase my chances of getting a job using a functional language.

I love static typing. But, I hear this is coming.
