Pics or it didn't happen

Agreed, but don't do that on a paid project though. Having to maintain a poorly written implementation of a common library is not a fun thing to do. Doing it on a toy project is fine

Next reply: I am sorry, I am not qualified and not paid enough to give a sh*t about you problem...

GOTO conferences. They upload all their talks. Their talks cover pretty much the entire range of subjects of the software world. So you will almost certainly find something you'll like

Elixir

Shhh don't give the iot people any ideas... First they took our computers and they are already claiming our fridges...

It's not a joke when it's true...

@kibbles I know for a fact that loads of companies are actively looking for good devs over here.

Have soms stickers

Sounds like you have something rant worthy. Care to elaborate?

Depends on her speciality but as a backend developer I really enjoyed "the Phoenix project". Written like a novel but full of information on how to do IT and delivery right. And going by your rants, it might be an interesting idea to buy copies for all of upper management as well... ;)

Same experience here, we lost out because our idea was less marketable... It was supposed to be an app for Philips hue and PSV supporters... After that I just go to Hackathons for the lulz...

@orijin ah yes, that's the one

*triggered

So instead of improving the regular NPM client they decided it was a better idea to roll their own... Feels like a case of NIH

@Letmecode phoenix is awesome, elixir even more so. That metaprogramming stuff you mention is crazy powerful and accessible

How do you guys feel about Elixir and Erlang for creating these kinds of systems?

@hasselsoff or at the very least a place to flesh out these ideas ;)

These techniques feel like a more natural way to model and build software. Please let's create a place where we can teach the world to think in FDD, CQRS & ES.
