This is the beauty of Elixir's macros. For a lot of libraries, they are usually just calls to an underlying function with the same name. Because of Elixir's functional style and immutability, it makes it much easier to read throug

It's great to see this publicly launch! Congrats to the team on making a great product. The Earthfile + Earthly CI approach is so much better than GHA or CircleCI. I feel like the only piece missing is distributed builds. Maybe one day

I've been a very happy user of Earthly and this is one of the final pieces of the puzzle that I've been waiting on[1]. I've found Earthly to be the perfect balance between declarative, repeatable, flexible yet easily understa

I came here to echo the pricing sentiment. I just encountered this problem and documented my company's architecture using Whimsical. I felt it was lacking. We're a <10 person start-up. $40/mo seems too much relative to how

As someone in the ecosystem, I've found a noticeable uptick in job postings the past few years. I haven't applied for such jobs so I can't personally attest to it. After gaining some recent experience in Go, I'd still ch

I agree heavily with this assessment. I think there is room for a framework similar to Phoenix LiveView but also allows compiling certain interactivity to the client. Next.js and Remix are kind-of fulfilling this but they have downsides. In

I'm curious if anyone can comment on their experience using the HTML renderer.

I recently converted my company's build process to Earthly. I find its syntax to be much easier to grok than CUE. They've also extended/added Docker commands that shore up some of the pain points of working with Dockerfiles.

How does this compare to Doppler[1]? Is there a way to handle the configuration in Terraform? [1] https://www.doppler.com/

This was wonderfully written. As a Nix beginner, I found it super helpful and wish there was more documentation that explained the major aspects of Nix this clearly.

Agreed. My gaming persona is different than IRL persona. I personally love the way Slack handles accounts.

My team has had success training experienced devs in Elixir that were coming from other backgrounds. I would caveat this with the fact that we just have a Phoenix app with hardly any code that leverages OTP.

Considering that the impacted region has a lot of forestry, there are environmental concerns with how they will protect the land in their new state's regulatory system.

This was a pain point for me when I was first evaluating them too. I had to manually email support for them to inform me they run in GCP US West EDIT: see sibling comment from anurag. It appears they now list the regions they support in the

I 100% agree about Elixir and its surrounding ecosystem being almost perfect. It's insane how simple the building blocks are and how easy the code is to read and write. Here are a few pain points I've ran into: 1. Typespecs leave

Phoenix + Ecto has been the best web framework experience I've ever encountered. I have experience with Django, Flask, Express and Rails. I'm a huge fan of Elixir as a language and the BEAM runtime. The libraries have been pretty

I recently started a SwiftUI project and this is a very accurate take based on my experience. How I spend my time in SwiftUI: 1. Wondering how I can get some conditional logic. Coming from React, this is a major issue that needs to be addre

I just led a migration for my small team from Zeit Now to Render ( https://render.com/ ). It has filled this need pretty well. There are some features that I wish existed but overall the simplicity has been great for our use

NOTE: v1 is fully maintained and supported. We will only announce a deprecation date once we have ensured all our customers workloads are migrated and the tooling is in place for a smooth transition. [0] Based on that, it seems to me like

One of the major pain-points I've hit with this concept of a "Monorepo" is tooling support since many things are built on the premise of separate repos for each code base. Pain points: Git+Github issues, CircleCI, etc. How do

I'm in the same boat. I've spent a lot of time getting my company's deployments set-up on Now's Docker offering (which was awesome). I'm not looking for my app to be serverless. And I'm also not looking for a &

I definitely recommend Philip Roberts's talk. I watched it a couple of months into learning Javascript and then everything "clicked."

This is something I wish more effort was being put into. As more and more apps become V8-based, with each shipping completely separated, I wish there was some way to have them share resources. I know there are a lot of issues with this (dif

I'm continuously impressed by Rethink. When I first used it, I ran into a few issues with changefeeds. Since they work in the open, I could quickly look at the Github issues and see that the fixes/features were already slated for

Just a heads up to the Starfighter team browsing this thread: going to starfighter.io with uBlock Origin results in the job listings being blocked. EDIT: it appears starfighter.io is different than starfighters.io.
