There are other serializers like blueprinter [0]. I haven't used it yet, but it seems like a good (fast) AMS replacement. I also recommend using Oj [1] which is a very fast JSON parser/generator for Ruby. JSON generating through D

I've seen there are plenty of comments that disagree with that statement. I agree, though. I love working remotely. I've been working remotely for a bit less than a year now. I had some few months break at the beginning of this ye

Yea, I know you are right. Still, it sucks that there is mindset like that...

I'm located in EU. I think this is part of the problem. Based on my job search, I've noticed that there is much more (interesting) jobs in USA.

Based on my experience this is very true. It's very annoying when you want to find a job, but you don't want to be a sucker, so you end up looking for a job for a long time. I don't get it. You want to hire someone talented o

I don't know why people make such a big deal of types. They don't add that much time to typing the code. I also have noticed that if you write daily using some code style (for example using types) it takes time to switch to anothe

Recently I've been tinkering with Elixir a lot. That's why I decided to share some small tips for learning Elixir. Hopefully someone will find it useful :)

Never been a CTO, but, don't be afraid to give some of your responsibilities to other people. Not sure how else to describe it, what I mean is just don't expect yourself to do everything, you have dev team for coding, etc. Make su

I don't know much how to help. I'm sorry. I have one idea though. Maybe find a temporary work in some other industry? Something new could spark a new passion? Even a job like a waiter/ress, taxi driver could bring a new look

That's a very valid concern. My personal opinion: Yes, the package system is pretty small. That's why it depends what kind of project you are gonna write and how much time you have. Ruby has a lot of gems, but many of them are bug

I thought same in 2018 when I didn't use Phoenix. But after trying out Elixir and Phoenix, damn... Elixir and Phoenix give you so much, nice websockets, concurrency, fucking easy to read code with great docs. I was a bit sceptical abou

I finished high school not that long time ago... I'm gonna say... Think Lean (startup lean) go to the high school and ask the kids what they want to know and what could make the presentation better for them and their friends. As a kid,

I'm from Europe, so I will say why I don't want to work in London (and I get a lot of offers from there!) The salaries that are offered are a joke in London. The expenses are so huge there! Even if the salary is a bit higher than

Hey, the author here :) Retrochat is my first product ever. It solves a problem where teams lose or don't complete their action items from retrospectives. It happens because many existing tools don't focus on action items as much

I'm gonna say, don't be too hard on yourself. You may expect to be as productive as on your previous job, but there is a big chance that you won't be. It will take some time to adjust to the new setting (even if you worked in

At first, I disagreed, but then I completely agree after thinking about that problem more. The proper mindset comes from the Top. If managers can't guide/lead their devs then they just can't expect business-oriented developme

I have the same opinion. Building SPA is f* hard and time-consuming. But it depends. If you know how to build SPA fast, then, by all means, go that route. (As a solo dev or small team) I use Rails, but Rails views are a disaster. You can us

I think it depends on the business you are building and also on yourself. I don't think everyone will be able to build something good without quitting. I also don't think it's not impossible to build a business while having a

Yea, probably a lot of people would ... for that kind of money. I guess it really depends on the person. Some crave money even if they are super rich. Some just want to have a happy life (no matter what money) - whatever that means for a pe

A very touching story. Yet somehow I feel happy for him, that he had found his friends online. I used to play a lot of MMO games when I was a teenager, not WoW exactly. I wish more kids played that genre nowadays. I think all the competitiv

I don't understand that surprise. It's their business model, what do you expect? They need to earn money, right? If you don't like them, stop using them.

Similar story here. I don't feel bad, though. There is just not enough time and resources to make every detail perfect. And I don't feel like overworking, because it will just burn me out in the end.

Hi, I wrote a post about perfectionism and how to deal with it. I think that in a startup culture leaders are pretty aware of this issue as they have faced it before (when building a product). Unfortunately, when it comes to new hires, espe

Cool, but slow. Couldn't all the data be packed into frontend? Waiting even a sec to check out some property is impractical.

Nothing specific atm. I do agree that startup could mean a lot of things. But I've learned already quite a lot from the questions that were provided, for which I'm very thankful.
