How in the world does DocuSign have 7k employees? I’m genuinely baffled. 700 employee would seem like a stretch.

The only reason I’m able to maintain a reasonably successful open source library is because it is part of an open core business model. Without that I couldn’t justify the development effort or relentless support to myself, or my family. Get

One of the best parts of listening to Elixir Outlaws, the podcast that Chris co-hosts, is disagreeing with his wacky and strongly-held opinions on things. Personally, I don't agree with most of what he's calling out here, but it&#

Running 75 million jobs a year would be totally fine. Depending on the configuration and load Oban easily runs thousands of jobs a second, and 75 million breaks down to less than 3 a second. I’d argue it’s worth the switch, but I’m highly b

The size of Alpine and its package manager are brilliant. What gets me, and my team, is the support policy for “older” packages. For a while we would pin library versions (e.g. libvips) only to have the pin break the build because the packa

There isn't an issue with Kafka and Elixir, it's the inherent complication around using Kafka when a lighter weight solution (Rabbit, PG) would work perfectly fine.

José is an enormous asset to the community and has an influence on many of the marquee projects, but it definitely isn't single-handedly done. He cares about the ecosystem and is very generous with his time and attention. Anecdotally s

According to the recent Thinking Elixir podcast [0] the performance is comparable. They specifically cite the performance of dialyzer, which typically runs through HiPE, as being just as fast with the new JIT. From what I recall HiPE isn&#x

Anecdotally I don’t believe dual licensing is viable for smaller projects. There simply aren’t enough companies that care about your license to make it a reliable business model. This is something I explored initially for Oban[0] and I inte

You make an excellent point here—it takes a lot of effort to get a solo project (OSS or otherwise) to be profitable enough that can compete with a day job’s salary. As somebody that is monetizing OSS, making a supplanting my salary is my me

If your database based queue is introducing lock contention then it is doing things wrong. Since Postgres 9.6 there is `FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED` which completely eliminates the issue.
