There's a 4th butterfly effect: All those places you described are becoming more and more inhabitable due to global warming, political instability and lower quality of living. Almost all of them want sponsorship to move to the US or Ca

I'm a CTO and looking to outsource to India, Middle East, Ukraine, Latin America. Is there a one stop shop for this? Or are you just manually hitting up people on upwork or freelance.com? I also think that the barrier to entry is so lo

In my personal experience theres always a honey moon period with these devs until they start taking on other clients as yourself. Then the technical debt starts to creep in and you end up as a hostage, unable to switch them out and unable t

As an executive I need to carefully assess an offering by thinking of everything. Your reasoning is "shut up and use it". This is not how you convince c-suites. If you've been really using Lambda on AWS and still struggling w

Curious what your TC was and # of employees. Were they all startups or were there any established companies hiring Elixir/Phoenix ? The technology is very interesting but I find that it has the same issues as clojure: limited talent po
