Re:Switching to Elixir on Friday November 10, 2023 @12:37AM (#38215437)
I've been using Ruby since about 2007. Every time I attempt to switch to the next "cool" thing, I ended up switching back, because Ruby is what I love and am the fastest with, and that's all that matters.

However, I've been starting to see a lot more Elixir buzz, and I love the looks and sounds of it. Looks like I'll need to start a new side project soon to give it a try.

So many people focus on their "stack", and all these things that have little effect on the outcome. Customers don't know or care how something is built, they just want it to provide value and solve a problem.
Agreed. Related to that, I was just reading that Google claims to now be okay with AI-generated content: “Appropriate use of AI or automation is not against our guidelines. This means that it is not used to generate content primarily to manipulate search rankings, which is against our spam policies.”

It's chunky for me too in Firefox, especially the 'letter' version. Pretty cool, but it's definitely still got a ways to go.

The best feedback you’ll ever get about your business. Free.

When you’re behind a business, or simply inside it, it’s easy to lose sight of some aspects of that business. You start to see things differently, and can’t necessarily view them the same way as your customers, especially your first time customers. Lucky for you, the best feedback you can get it free, easily accessible, and available immediately.
