We here at Pacific Health Dynamics, Sydney, Down Under want to give a big thanks to Evan and the core team for all your hard, free, work! We've recently hit 100k loc for our main frontend written all in Elm. The journey from inception

I've had a hobby game in Elm which I worked on for about a year and a half and I was the second engineer ( frontend lead ) hired to 'rescue' a greenfield project with Elm as the frontend. That is now at 100k+ LOC, 2.5 years l

It's definitely an issue for larger, coupled projects in 0.18 but don't let it scare you. The trick is to decouple your modules by focusing them on a single responsibility. Then the compile time is a non-issue.

Correct, the initial 16k LoC was not complete. In fact ( no metrics ), I deleted large portions of redundant files/code and at one stage we were back at about 11k LoC. The comment about 16k -> 45k LoC was to give an idea of how much

Thank you all for the wide range of thoughtful responses. I don't want to leave the impression that this company with a private owner is a bad company. The employer did look out for me when I had difficult family issues and at one poin

I guess my angle isn't: What is there to gain for me. Even though I was made redundant, the employer is nice and I'd have no problems signing it. But it's the first time I'm asked to sign one of these things and some of

Let it out, don't hold it in. Close your eyes, focus on your intense emotions, breath in and let it out, gently and fully. I try to do this with all intense emotions be it overwhelming sadness, fury, despair. Feels better than holding

I think this post has less about passion than about youth and naievity. If you truly enjoy what you do, the value you receive from that shouldn't just be measured in dollar terms. I'm passionate about what I do and I do it during

Does this have something to do with the constant DoS attacks they've been getting from a certain country for hosting certain open source projects that defy the censorship authority of said certain country?

Who are the people that can fix complex systems? If a group of people like this exists then why do we still have broken complex systems? I think that the more influence and wealth you wield, the better your chances are of 'fixing'
