Good point, bad analogy. Twitter treats pedophiles really well.

I think you should have a discussion section where you talk about potential implications (possible password leaks via S3).

I’ve found that Elm people don’t like jokes in general.

“And Phoenix would be the Rails to Erlang's Ruby (Elixir). The learning curve is steep, you will need to learn OTP. Which is probably why adoption lags."
The author has no idea what they are talking when it comes to the alternatives.
I was making simple CRUD apps in Phoenix (the types of apps I would normally use rails for) for a year before I even looked at OTP. You can become productive in elixir and Phoenix very quickly especially if you come from a ruby/rails background.
I recall a blog post by dockyard where they said they had new hires making commits within the first week.

I would take a risk on him as a remote employee. But no way would I be willing to take a risk for an on site position. Especially with #MeToo
OP maybe you should focus on remote jobs and be transparent upfront?
spacesword | 8 years ago | on: Exploring ReasonML and functional programming
Agreed, I love Elm but the lack of documentation was a pretty big hurdle for me. Especially because I came from using elixir/phoenix on the backend which I found had excellent guides and docs (for language, framework and most packages).

I personally love the keyboard. Also, I don’t mind it being a little thicker but I love the current weight.

This is no longer true with the 2016 MacBook Pro's. So far I love my new Mac, but the battery is absolute crap.

Phoenix and Elixir are trucking along nicely. Elixir 1.3 is on release candidate, as is Ecto 2.0 and Phoenix 1.2.
The big feature of Phoenix 1.2 is channel presence: https://dockyard.com/blog/2016/03/25/what-makes-phoenix-pres...
Whats coming in elixir 1.3: http://tuvistavie.com/2016/elixir-1-3/

Other than that the community is growing at a healthy pace. Hex packages have gone from 1000 to over 2000 in the last 6 months.

spacesword | 10 years ago | on: Why I wouldn’t use Rails for a new company
Im betting on Elixir + Phoenix framework being the future, for many reasons. Mainly speed and concurrency while still maintaining the productivity of rails.

They mention X and O on the PS controller but usually in games O is for no and X is for yes. Completely opposite of the batsu/maru, incorrent/correct they were discussing.
