I agree with your more nuanced take on the golang community's position. I still think that a fully realized framework is, in general, a better starting point for the vast majority of projects. Part of the problem is that such framework

I don't know the php ecosystem well at all. I just didn't want to come across as 'Rails is the only one true way'. Lots of php folks seem to love it, and it derives a lot from Rails, so I thought it was a fairly safe sho

Yes, the state of the industry is a hot mess, but I'm not sure this article rings true. Failing to leverage good frameworks is as big a problem as over using the bad ones. I would point to Rails as an example of an appropriate framewor

The x86 hardware and the Linux OS both had to make the jump to 64 bit. Sun was still able to make hay in the period where Linux was well established because 32 bit memory restrictions kept if from being a viable option for a lot of high

Agreed. In my mind, the M1 Mac I'm typing this on is a direct descendent of the NeXT workstation that launched while I was still a student with no hope of ever owning. As much as I love the progress, it does make me wonder where/h

They were already doomed at that point. I was involved in several major purchase decisions during that period and Sun were totally out of touch. If they were quoting hardware that had an x86 equivalent, then they were overpriced. If it was

If there is a business/domain need for this capability most organizations will go with some kind on content management solution (CMS) of which there are myriad solutions. Git would be considered bare bones and unintuitive compared with

It competes with anyone selling point of sale hardware. I think Square falls into that camp, no? I wouldn't want to be in that space right now. I don't see how this doesn't usurp a big chunk of their market since it isn'

I went through a cycle of: study ruby -> start using rails -> seems magical -> realize you don't know ruby yet -> study more -> rails no longer feels magical. I suspect this is typical given that there is lot more to rub

Baffling that this wasn't a day one feature. Doubly baffling that it now launches on Enterprise only with no guidance on if or when it will be generally available. Never an explanation why this couldn't have been there all along.

I honestly thought they were finally renouncing GitLab flow as a massively misguided idea. They are both flawed. You shouldn't be using branches in your version control system to denote stages in your development process or deployment

Because the Elixir/Phoenix community is largely spawned from the Ruby/Rails community. They are more likely to be continuing to follow what is going on with Rails, even living in both worlds. There are many shared values and exper
