The issue I take with this opinion as noted above, it selects for people who have available time. I am genuinely interested in programming, but I come home and spend time with my 4…

Seems reasonable enough. I just feel like shouting from the rooftops "redis is not a queue server" but you already know that :)

Fair point. Why then persist to redis, rather than using something like mnesia and keeping it all in Elixir? Is there a compelling reason to add an additional piece of tech in my s…

I don't understand why we're rebuilding Resqueue/Sidekiq in Elixir. This seems like a problem which is solved largely by OTP. Yes there are issues with back-pressure and over-filli…

What is your present valuation? Do you have plans to raise any investment?

I started using Red Pen when I was working with Katie (who is a rocking designer) at one of my previous jobs. I've then taken Red Pen and used it at a bunch of other places now. I'…

Disclaimer: I'm a Ninefold employee. I can see how that claim could sound pretty ludicrous. A startup coming from nothing isn't going to get $100 Million to spend on hardware. We'r…

That's pretty impressive. Looking at how close the produced output is to what I used to write various things was very cool.

"This account has been suspended. Either the domain has been overused, or the reseller ran out of resources." Yay cloud?

I was hired as a technical community manager/evangelist. I've chosen to take on neither of those titles in the few months that I've been in this position. I've been a dev since hig…
