   After 20 years trying All The Frameworks, Phoenix is the first that excites me in a long time. Both the community and the coding experience remind me of Rails's early days in 2004/2005. Same for Elixir in general. Different philos

   Facebook has done enough feature launches that they train their teams to look for and expect a huge initial engagement peak as people explore the product. It's Deltoid 101.

    I have someone on my team who took 12 weeks PTO last year, yet still created outsized value for the company. I have someone who we lured to the team by offering 4 weeks off in the first 2 months of his employment so he could do a pre-planne

    Hopefully it leads to a lot of businesses who are overburdened with nonessential trappings of public posturing. Makes it easier for the rest of us to compete by simply executing well.

    Putting distance between the human and the point-of-impact makes it easier to pull the trigger. Will be interesting to see the stats on this.

    That’s fine. My blog and Twitter account are easily discoverable. Anyone who takes 30 seconds to look would see that that isn’t the case. Anyone who doesn’t take the 30 seconds… probably isn’t someone who wants to chat with me anyhow.

    I was in your shoes ten years ago. Since then, I’ve increased my income over 10x, and wake up every day ready to tackle interesting problems. If you’d like to chat, reach out.

    Really sucks the mystery out of the room though, doesn't it? It's almost more impressive that people know who it is without saying the name.

    Devil's advocate: What would it take to programmatically port/transpile the core of Erlang's ecosystem to Elixir? Pick the killer app to serve as the root node (Phoenix?) and walk back to the leaves (OTP, popular libraries, e
