I still think Whisper has the biggest Phoenix deployment in terms of traffic. It's a huge part of what makes our web development easy because our backend is all Erlang. Thanks Chris and José (and everyone else) for such a great set of

We just bought a SAAS business via FE International last month ( http://talentdesk.com ). Process was incredibly smooth. I'm happy to answer questions privately if anyone has any on what it's like on the buyer side.

I've built dozens of Erlang apps and used ETS in every one. I've used Mnesia once, and it was not a pleasant experience. Most Erlang dev teams use ETS directly. It's possible to use Mnesia successfully but I see it far less o

This type of use of H1-Bs is really frustrating for people that legitimately have developers who have a true need for the visa. I've hosted FWD.us events, and I've applied for a number of H1-Bs (among other visas). It's hard

I didn't say it wasn't complicated. What I said was most lift is due to angle of attack. The fact is that the percentage of lift that is attributable to angle of attack is far greater than that due to reduction in air pressure acr

it's really easy to train someone on Erlang. And there are an increasing number of Erlang devs these days.

That's tough because purchasing is often difficult. It took me dozens of tries to get a flight booked to Cypress once, through 4 cities. I ended up deciding the onerous itinerary was not worth the nearly free ticket. That's common

Totally not need-based. A buddy and I just bought them and we decided to just make a weekend of it, went to a few good restaurants, saw a show.

I've flown from SEA-NYC for $1.86. I flew from YYV to Romania, and onto Turkey, for $200. I flew with my family of 5 in first class from SEA-YTO (Toronto) for $0, on Air Canada. Too many others to count. All from flyertalk. It's n

A former client was on Shark Tank. The pitch in-studio was 2.5 hours and of course only 7 minutes was aired. The interest it generated (in terms of downloads) was enormous. It nearly filled the Heroku database during the show - which we qui

We have a team of data scientists that pretty much exclusively use python and a team of server devs that nearly exclusively use Erlang. I could see a use for this, though I will say we've pretty much made separate services and these se

Congrats to the Mixpanel team. They have always been very supportive when we've had questions. When we had a problem with a particular statistic a few months back, they actually came on-site to diagnose.
