This advice only works at the team level. Beyond that, it’s borderline fantasy. At senior and leadership levels, promotions aren’t rewards for effort, they’re forward looking bets made by people above you, and those people have incentives,

I’ve spent a decent chunk of my career wrestling with time sync — NTP/PTP, GPS, timezones, all that fun stuff. For real world network time infrastructure, where do we actually hit diminishing returns with clock precision? Like, at what

The article makes a fair case for sticking with OTel, but it also feels a bit like forcing a general purpose tool into a domain where richer semantics might genuinely help. “Just add attributes” sounds neat until you’re debugging a multi-ag

I bought into the “leader vs. manager” Kool-Aid for years—until I actually had to manage. Spoiler: the dichotomy is a myth. Once you’re in the seat, it’s all gray area. You’re not just “inspiring people,” you’re stuck between upper leadersh

Out of curiosity, what's keeping you in slack ecosystem? Why not leverage Discord and run on your own server? Wouldn't that be a much economical alternative to begin with?

Is this deeply coupled with Chroma or something we can fork out for other applications? I would love to explore this for lightweight change data capture on S3.

I’m a bit underwhelmed by the quality of articles coming out of Netflix. 100 Million records / entity is nothing for Redis — even without RAW hollow-style compression techniques used (bit-packing, dedup, dict encoding is pretty standar

Unpopular opinion: in 2025, nobody should be reaching for an ORM first. They’re an anti-pattern at this point. The “abstraction” it promises rarely delivers—what you actually get is leaky, slow, and a nightmare to operate at scale. The sane

I have a ton of respect for José Valim and the Elixir core team, I have to say: Elixir just doesn’t mesh well with the kind of infrastructure tooling that’s become standard today. The ecosystem has been growing impressively and there’s a lo

As a non-native English speaker, I’ve often struggled to communicate nuance or subtlety in writing—especially when addressing non-technical audiences. LLMs have been a game-changer for me. They’ve significantly improved my writing and made

Can someone help me understand how many companies are generally needed for healthy competition, as opposed to a market being considered fragmented or monopolistic? To the untrained eye, having 5 players might seem like a reasonable level of

I'm curious what led to the lack of demand for this—was it the friction involved in moving brokerage accounts, or do ETFs already meet the needs of most retail investors? A post-mortem on the limited traction would be quite insightful.

What uses cases would this be effective compared to using replacing merge tree (RMT) in clickhouse that eventually (usually in a short period of time) can handle dups itself? We had issues with dups that we solved using RMT and query time

Great to see Elixir gaining traction in mission-critical broadcast systems! I wonder, how much of Cyanview's reliability comes from Elixir specifically versus just good implementation of MQTT? and is there any specific Elixir features

As much as I love to use your product, the challenge from my perspective is why switch for 0.03% in fees? Especially when you compare it to likes of fidelity, vanguard , schwab. Those 3 are too big to fail. The point I am accentuating is, t

While cell-based services make sense for critical applications, not all services require this approach from a Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) perspective. In practice, I've observed that companies often adopt an all-or-nothing approach to ce

A limited job market, considerably smaller ecosystem (compared to java/python), and lack of support from major tech corporations (unlike Go or Rust) makes it challenging to adopt Elixir. At my company , we inherited a legacy Elixir ser
