#Ruby / #Rails dev by day 🌞
#Elixir / #Phoenix dev by night 🌚

I just want to watch the world learn ( #ElixirLang for their own sake).
That's only for the "system-wide" outages. My project (and others, check their community forums) have been plagued by machines going rogue and other networking issues.

I so badly want Fly to be good. It just….isn’t.

Doing any amount of scaling past their free tier immediately highlights all of the cut corners and cracks in their infrastructure.

Yeah I have been eyeballing it. Do they have multi-region deployments for Elixir apps?

Divvy is another of the early adopters who has benefited from the ease of scaling medium.com/@divvyhq/why...
Why Divvy uses Elixir instead of more popular coding languages.

Discord is the one that first comes to mind. All of their tech runs on Elixir/Erlang. This is their most recent post on their blog about scaling Elixir: discord.com/blog/maxjour...
Maxjourney: Pushing Discord’s Limits with a Million+ Online Users in a Single Server
In this post, we’ll talk about some of the ways we’ve scaled individual Discord servers from tens of thousands of concurrent users to approaching two million concurrent users in the past few years.

Hot take: the #ElixirLang crew is long gone. I’d take Phoenix 100% of the time nowadays for starting anything new (or even a re-write).

I spend most of my days in the data layer and when I am in the front end it’s typically in some js framework. Wow modern HTML is such a breath of fresh air.

The remainder of the config is preferential (e.g. I'm a fan of FiraCode)

window-title-font-family = "Fira Code Retina"
font-family = "Fira Code Retina"
font-family-bold = "Fira Code Bold"
font-size = 16

At least it gives nice ligatures when writing #ElixirLang
