how does Elixir+Phoenix help for this sort of use case instead of just using Python or JavaScript? thanks for any info!

Re:Apache Flink on Wednesday January 30, 2019 @01:58PM (#19038077)

What's the easiest way to get started with trying Apache Kafka/Spark/Flink on the cloud? If I want to try out Redis there's RedisLabs, CloudAMQP for RabbitMQ, Compose for Postgres/Redis/RabbitMQ, offerings like Google Cloud SQL/MemoryStore and AWS RDS/ElastiCache, etc. Where do I go for some easy Apache deployments?

(While I understand passion is important and you won't make it far in either without it) Which profession would you suggest just "for the money"? Doctor or Software Engineer? Taking into the account the time and loans it takes to come online as a doctor, and the assuming the person is good enough to become a surgeon or code at FAANG? Great website btw, and so inspiring.

Re:Ask HN: What do you struggle with? on Thursday August 30, 2018 @12:41AM (#17874131)

I'm trying to do 3 things at once:

1. Work my job

2. Get a better job (leetcode.com)

3. Build my own app

Besides #1 where I don't have much of a choice, I struggle to make progress towards both #2 and #3 sometimes. I feel like maybe I should just focus on one or the other at a time e.g. I'm not even 1 year into my new job, so perhaps I don't already be practicing for another, and should just concentrate on my app after work.

Ask HN: How Does a Software Engineer Transition to Product Manager?

Really wish I had applied to those APM programs out of school. Am finding it pretty difficult to break into PM from Software Engineer. Seems like at most places it's either APM (fresh grad) or requires 3-5+ years Product Manager experience.

I was resume screened/rejected from many no name companies. Google was one of the only few who took a chance on me and I think that's so cool.

Interesting to see this on HN. I use AdMob in my app. Do my stats seem normal to you guys? ~70-100k impressions a day = ~$4-9, not enough for me to eat...
