Having spent the last year with Elixir in production, I don't plan to go back. Things like Ecto, ExUnit, error handling using "with", Phoenix Presence, domain modeling using Phoenix Contexts, Absinthe for GraphQL have made programming a joy.
Outline is a customer engagement platform that simplifies communication and alignment between cross-functional teams and users.
We just launched this year, and we're looking to bring on someone to help shape the foundation of our product and infrastructure. We'd love to chat!

We're building a data privacy platform that automates data compliance.
As more cities and countries develop privacy laws, most companies are ill-suited to continuously comply with them. Our platform streamlines this entire process while enabling companies to give their users more control and transparency over their data.
We are currently powering privacy for some of the most well-known companies in the world, and we've continued to show very healthy growth (including over the past few months).
We're looking with someone with 5+ years of experience to shape our frontend architecture.
Tech Stack: React, Styled Components, Jest, Ruby/Rails, Postgres

Not sure if it's the rich formatting or customization, but I find myself coming back to notes and utilizing them much more frequently in Notion than I did with plain text.
The latest releases have resolved some of my larger issues like performance, search, and quick notes on mobile. I'm happy they're making their product more accessible, and I'm looking forward to the API.
I do a fair bit of reading in Feedbin. Anything I read and want to save, I tag and send to Pinboard. If I want to read it later, I mark it as such and also send it to Pinboard.

“You have to be that person. Do you want to be that person with all of their reactions, their desires, their family, their happiness level, their outlook on life, and their self image? If you’re not willing to do a whole sale, 24/7, 100% swap with who that person is, then there’s no point in being jealous.”
The solution is almost always to change your situation. Before you do that, you need to do some introspection and identify what it is that is burning you out. The causes aren't always big and obvious, they could be as simple as interpersonal dynamics.
The fix depends on the cause but some examples could include getting a new job, switching teams, switching projects, working from home more, etc.
Once you've determined the cause of your burn out and you have a plan to change it, take some time off and take care of yourself:
- Spend time with friends and family
- Go for a run
- Meditate
- Cook a good meal from scratch
- Hang out in nature (go hiking, sit by the water)
- Take a day trip
- Read (Stoicism can be really helpful)
- Journal
- Improve your living space
- Get a full night’s sleep
- Laugh (a lot)
A common mistake people make when trying to heal burn out is to take time off just to return to the environment that caused the burn out in the first place. Change is absolutely crucial.
