I think this misses one of the key points of Elixir, Phoenix and LiveView. How do your benchmarks look when under load? How does each handle 1000 concurrent users or 10,000 etc. In…

I built this while debugging our own tile pipelines for MarineCharts (a nautical chart API). I wanted something you could just paste a URL into. It runs entirely in the browser – n…

We binned any form of coding questions or take home task. Our preference now is to focus on architectural concepts and ability to apply those to a problem. So, as happened last wee…

Maritime vector charts for use in mapping applications https://marinecharts.io Current coverage is the US, more countries coming soon.

It is. I’ve found it so useful I created an Elixir library to act as a cache in front on a pmtiles file. https://hex.pm/packages/ex_pmtiles

I just use Quickbooks. Takes a little getting used to but I can just give my accountant access and they can get what they need to prepare the end of year accounts for filing.

There was a similar project in the UK back in the 90’s aimed at using remote sensing to detect mass graves in Bosnia.

A mix of cursor and claude. I’ve just used cursor to help me write a radar data visualisation tool using SwiftUI and Metal. Never used either before. In essence I treated it like a…

I followed a similar approach recently to create map layers with Sentinel-2 imagery. Webp encoded tiles extracted from the CoGs available on AWS then embedded within a pmtiles file…

I’d recommend listening to Lenny’s podcast.

Clojurescript. I used it to build an MVP proof of concept for work and now have to watch a small team re-write it using Typescript and Angular They’re still not at feature parity w…

Sounds as much a problem of too many Product Managers all trying to make a mark so they can progress their career. Hence features keep getting added or re-designed.

Completely agree. Though I’ve also found an Elixir backend works well because of the power of the Beam VM.

That’s pretty much the destination I’ve arrived at though in my case via the Elixir route.

I’ve been impressed with Elixir. At my current gig it’s easily replaced a bunch of java microservices using RabbitMQ as the messaging backbone that struggled to handle the workload…

I did something similar to this last year. Went from site Engineering manager at a multi-national aerospace company to IC role and don’t regret it. I did resign, and started in a s…

Can’t argue with that assessment.

Elixir and Phoenix Liveview. It really is the most productive framework I’ve found.

Watching slightly incredulous as a newly elevated CTO instigates Scrum, I was drawn back to this gem.

Any large aerospace company. Especially those that have been bought and merged with others as the sector has consolidated over the years. Having watched it from the inside of one t…

A question for anyone out there working as a software architect (especially microservice architectures). What’s your typical day comprise of? Where do you find yourself focusing yo…
