I think that's a concrete area for you to explore. When I hire, I'm often looking to hire to fill a specific skill gap on a project. I look for the specific skills I need right now…

Nice. I used this a dozen times over the outage period. Thank you for your work!

I've been watching Revolut who introduced something like this a while back https://blog.revolut.com/introducing-disposable-virtual-card...

There's a nice implementation of subscriptions over at https://hexdocs.pm/absinthe/subscriptions.html#content for Elixir.

yeah, I considered holding onto a pair of old 2950s but ditched them considering my peak electricity rate is 43c kw/h. This setup makes me shudder.

The typeyness of graphql gets you documentation, validation and a way to communicate intent with fellow developers in a way that's agnostic of the language and transport used. Win,…

I wonder whether you know how to nurture leaders under you and how to delegate effectively? Many founders are relatively inexperienced and I understand this might not be the case f…
