It's not that bad, I'm on my second Elixir job in 3 years and in Asia which is even harder to find. There are a good amount of jobs in the US or in Europe but you have to actively look for them... I can however say that working wi

Whether it's a good idea or not really depends on your app, what you're trying to do, and who your users are. Now if you want to avoid round trips to the server for interactions such as opening a modal, you can! There are at least

The answer as often is... "it depends". Should you run an unindexed query on every keystroke of a text input of a form for every user? No. But if you're not a junior dev, you'll know not to do those things and you'l

Same here. Microservices have their place if you expect to have to scale like craaaaazzzzy or if you know that your platform will be huge with many different parts but you can go a LONG way with a Phoenix monolith while being "happier&
