If you disagree with things he’s done with Rails that’s one thing. But I would strongly suggest you reconsider the notion that he should be removed from leadership on Rails because of all his personal beliefs.
He’s writing a web framework man (along with thousands of other people who may or not agree with him), he’s not directing your personal life. You should strongly reconsider this blog post. One day, the same sort of ire you’re pointing at him will be pointed at you for no reason other than people disagree with you.
I didn’t buy my truck because of Elon, I bought it because I needed a truck and all the other truck manufacturers are completely brain dead when it comes to software.
I definitely wish Elon would shut up often, but he’s clearly not a nazi. That’s all nonsense.
His work at doge has been underwhelming so far, I had higher hopes. But it seems like most would rather have the status quo of major deficit spending and debt. Overall I would prefer drastic reduction in spending and waste with an actual plan and less chaos.
None of what Elon does makes me regret my car purchase. Why in the world would I make a personal decision like a car based on some billionaire I’ll never meet? I didn’t buy the truck as any kind of virtue signal. I bought it because I like it despite how dumb and crazy it looks.
Here is the story.
I remember when twitter had fail whales constantly and they rewrote it from ruby to java I think. At the time everyone assumed it was all ruby's fault, and that might be partly true. But it's also true that the engineers who rebuilt it understood the problem much better now, and knew the major pain points. They also completely changed the architecture to be better suited to the problem. I submit that a lot of rewrites could happen in the same language and still have major gains.
All that being said Elixir is great, and particularly well suited to these kinds of problems.
Case in point, I set a waf rule that blocked all non verified bot traffic from several big datacenters (Google cloud, OVH, digital ocean, etc). That turned out to be a mistake because a lot of corporations were routing their traffic through those ASNs for some reason. Now they’re blocked. They could have gotten pissed out cloudflare, the error page looks the same, but it was really misconfiguring it.
I agree with the gp. The quest 2 has helped me connect with friends in different states that felt way closer to inviting them over to hang out at the house than just video chatting or whatever.
There is real value in that. Even my wife who is not techy at all enjoyed it after first laughing in my face at the idea.
For better or worse, meta seems to be the only company currently trying to push this forward. So meta it is for now.
