    He tried at the beginning to say only when the DB gets too big should you even think about this but there are things you can do there as well.

    Sorry DLQs make it easier to do those alerts where a human needs to look asap at something. Not sure they can be gotten rid of, but maybe you call them something else.

    This isn't cheating in my mind. They use tools available to them just like they will have on their job. I would ask clarifying questions and if they understand what they are saying…

    They own the IP they can do what they e want. Seem like every few years some creator freaks out because they didn't like what you did and take it down. It is in their right to do s…

    This is a project managers job not a engineering managers job.

    Frameworks come and go. I rather give the credit to the creator not the company. It solved there problem and open sourcing it benefits them more not the community. Now they don't n…

    The no VM thing I think is a downside. Sure raw performance is nice but not having a process eat all system cou resources is the true beauty of Erlang and Elixir to allow you to se…

    Chat GPT can't write code so I am a little confused?

    So very human of us to think our truths are some other beings truths. Maybe they proved math isn't true? Maybe they don't think in any way like we do.

    I think this really depends on what they are asking you to do. If part of the job is say writing documentation, moving and documenting your work with Jira tickets, report progress,…

    This statement is what the older generation and companies want you to think. It doesn't have to be that way and companies and management need to change or people will leave for com…

    The event nature seems like a light version of Erlang or Elixir without the power of those. Erlang and Elixir can run millions of light weight processes though vs 1000s. Still so m…

    Serverless is never cheaper than running on your own machines once you hit any scale. Just cheaper to start with. They want to hook you in so when you scale you pay them the big bu…

    Thinking like this is how you get factory objects in JavaScript or Elixir processes as objects. They are very different technologies that need to be written differently at the core…
