In the UK you get ahead by going into management. Tech (or sales, or accounting, or whatever) is just a short term thing you do for a few years until you get promoted into management. We don't like to reward people for being clever; we

Maybe you do - and if so, kudos. But that's not standard industry practice. Nobody looks at your Github - except maybe at the final stages of the process. In the meantime you have to get through a lot of filters.

Right now I know of a company that needs to overhaul their front end. They don't have a lot of available developer resources and their core strength is backend (Python/Django). I'm sorely tempted to recommend Ember. Angular i

I've been getting a bit farther along with Phoenix - just building a toy Instagram-lite site for learning purposes. I like the Elixir language, but I'm a little concerned that in a real-world production app you'd really need
