I would feel differently if he was attempting to live a modest lifestyle but he isn't. He very publicly shows off and is surprised by the response. It's a very immature thing.

I'm sure he has less public channels to seek help on.

"Woe is me." — Notch.

Are we being serious? Complaining about your wealth, high roller lifestyle, and fancy destinations doesn't garner much sympathy. Is it really a surprise that he is "alone"? Notch rose to popularly by playing the indie developer card and as soon as he had the chance, he did an about face. He may have seen to it that his team was taken care of but that doesn't change the fact that he took the money and ran.

Good on him making billions more than I ever will but don't expect people to feel sorry because it's lonely when you flaunt your wealth.

Felt the exact same pains. That's what keeps me from investing in these newer clients.

Thanks for the reply cvgraham!

I often wonder/worry that these sort of "bailouts" and acquisitions reward founders for poor decision making.

Will Maren Kate remain in her role as CEO?

Next on the list of bad IoT ideas, we port Flash to the Raspberry Pi.

I can't tell if you're making a joke or not.

The title was changed. It previously said something along the lines of "Launch a private Heroku"

Very cool, thanks so much for your hard work!

That's great. Is it possible to add additional servers after installation? I looked into the CLI project but I haven't found anything yet, the scale option appears to be for processes not servers.

This is really great! I'm interested in trying this out for our products in place of OpsWork.

The documentations says "by default provisions an Elastic Load Balancer and 3 t2.small instances", is it possible to change the number/size of servers dynamically?

You're welcome!

After Twitter and Facebook IPOs, there were bidding wars between home buyers that resulted in some homes selling for a million over asking price.

The development team has always been very friendly and welcoming. I suspect that they didn't have time for someone who was interested in "arguing" with them.

Since Kotlin can leverage JVM libraries, why not use Google Gauva? https://code.google.com/p/guava-libraries/wiki/UsingAndAvoid...

I've been using Kotlin on-and-off as a Java replacement and I've really enjoyed it.

A couple of months ago I used Kotlin to setup a Dropwizard project and it was a breeze so I put together an example on GitHub to serve as a starting point for others: https://github.com/doomspork/kotlin-dropwizard

I'm currently keeping a list of companies actively using Elixir in production that you mind find useful: https://github.com/doomspork/elixir-companies

The basics and that's about it. IMHO, these schools do a very big disservice to the people they pretend to help. I think it's particularly bad for woman and under represented groups looking to springboard into technology, as it sets an unreal expectation.

I'd like to know this too. The few places I've worked that hired from these schools quickly let folks go and never went back.

I know a few left tech altogether.

For me the lack of available solutions is an opportunity to contribute back, something that I find can be more difficult with established projects.

Not OP but I've been playing with both Elixir and Phoenix recently and I must say it's been pleasant. With experience in Ruby (and Rails) and an understanding of FP I was able to dive right in.

I've recently started using https://codebender.cc which seems to offer the same feature set.

I recently switched to MacDown which is influenced by Mou and open source, it's great: http://macdown.uranusjr.com/

I've found these tools particularly useful if you've got your team divided up into frontend vs backend/platform. We would discuss and mock up the endpoint to unblock the API consumers while the actual service is built.

This is really neat. We used Apiary at my last company to document our APIs and the added benefit is that it did just this, generated and tracked a mock endpoint. Really cool stuff.

This is a really helpful resource, thanks for putting this together.

Speaking from first hand experience I can tell you it would take a lot more than start-up culture to change the way the software is built for the government. For one, a lot of agencies are regulated by DHS or DoD on what is allowed, prohibited, and open for discussion. Another big, and I'd argue bigger issue, is that many of the people in positions to make these decision are nearing retirement and for them it is advantageous to award lucrative contracts to those companies that are likely to employ them or their friends later.

Sorry I'm not sure I follow. There is no client included within my repo, just the service.

You are correct, no decision has been made as of yet.
