> I wonder what makes Sidekiq special? Time, know-how, and long term dedication are the key ingredients from my perspective. Maybe he's working 10-20 hours now, but there's support…

Jobs may crash due to VM issues or OOM problems. The more common cause of "orphans" is when the VM restarts and jobs can't finish during the shutdown period.

That thread says the opposite at the end. The ban they were referring to was over a decade prior. Ericsson has a dedicated team that maintains and actively improves Erlang with new…

How in the world does DocuSign have 7k employees? I’m genuinely baffled. 700 employee would seem like a stretch.

There are ample Elixir jobs out there, and lots of companies hiring. For a quick check of relative popularity, open the past couple monthly “Who’s Hiring” here and search for “Elix…

José is an enormous asset to the community and has an influence on many of the marquee projects, but it definitely isn't single-handedly done. He cares about the ecosystem and is v…

That project is fantastic! I'll soon have need for some clean SVG language icons and these are perfect.

According to the recent Thinking Elixir podcast [0] the performance is comparable. They specifically cite the performance of dialyzer, which typically runs through HiPE, as being j…

No idea. It is the foundation of VSCode and most of the other plugin systems powered by the language server standard.

The IDE type tooling is getting better all the time thanks to Elixir-LS. There was a 0.6 release a couple of days ago with a ton of improvements [0]. Better auto-completion trigger…
