The tone of these comments is unnecessarily negative.

Nice job taking a go at something you feel is important.

Hi I'm Nick, Cofounder/CTO of TalentWall (https://talentwall.io)

TalentWall makes recruiting-management software for the fastest-growing companies, including many well known brands.

We are a small company (only 4 FT devs right now), but growing quickly. All the current developers are very senior Ex-ThoughtWorks folks who care about code and process quality.

I'm currently hiring Elixir developers at TalentWall, but since there aren't a lot of them out there, I'm willing to hire people who have only a moderate amount of Elixir experience, as long as they are experienced in related tech (MVC, Ruby, a functional language, SQL, etc.)

I would say that because of the Elixir dev shortage, it's easier to get hired for an Elixir job if you only have moderate Elixir experience than it would be for more mainstream languages if you had limited experience with them.

I suspect that was intended to mean "list price".

How many people did overwrought headlines kill?

This seems like it could be a great approach to charting in a Phoenix LiveView application.

Perhaps it's that most people have never heard of "BLS", but they trust WSJ / NYT.

Newspapers provide context and interpretation. And they are designed to be read. A big block of monospace text is not inviting for most people.

Sounds very cool. For the purposes of pricing, what are "enterprise users"?

Exercise is an excellent way to build outer confidence and self-esteem. On the inner level, I would recommend practicing compassion meditation, especially self-compassion. Many of us have a belief that there is something wrong with us, that we are deficient. If you can face this feeling in a gentle and self-compassionate way, you can bring the emotion to the surface and release it. Over time it subsides. This will also lead you to feel compassion for others.

You could start with something like this:

The idea that you can get 80% online what you can get from books is somewhat true for "fluff" books such as many business books and self-improvement books.

Serious books, however, are incomparable more valuable than either fluff books or internet reading. They require a bigger investment, but they can give you whole new ways of seeing. That only comes through a substantial investment and effort to see with a new perspective.

Try some books that have stood the test of time, such as those published by Everyman's Library or Modern Library. Often insight comes not so much from keeping up with the bleeding edge, as from about understanding enduring truths about life and the world.

Elixir's ORM, Ecto, appears to be a lot like LINQ. You write pseudo-SQL queries starting with from. E.g.

  from u in User, where: u.id = 1, select: u.name

Meditation. Being able to direct your attention, to be present in difficult situations, to care about others when it's easier to worry about oneself, and to be willing to see truths that contradict one's self-image. There is much to be gained from this simple practice, and much to be lost from foregoing it.

"the faculty of voluntarily bringing back a wandering attention over and over again is the very root of judgment, character, and will. [...] An education which should improve this faculty would be the education par excellence." - William James

Go during off-peak hours?

Engineering students are usually required to study physics.

Does not seem to be actively developed, however. Last commit was in early 2016: https://github.com/voltrb/volt/

Do you have a source for that? Hopefully they'll lower prices by introducing operational efficiencies, and not by lowering ethical standards.

Except "power poses" do work. I experience a marked increase in my energy and confidence when taking a "power pose".

Moreover, the "power pose effect" is a subset of the general experience that posture changes mood. The opposite effect can also be observed. Try exaggeratedly slouching. It produces a near-immediate decrease in energy and confidence.

Perhaps hormone levels do not change, but the subjective difference is (for me at least) undeniable.

Take it for granted for a moment that posture affects mood. In that case, how do we interpret a failure to reproduce? Could it be a case that they were not testing exactly what they thought they were testing, but that the folk-knowledge of posture is still correct?

A hilarious, offensive, and sometimes painfully accurate description of programmers from the perspective of management.

They're being ironic. This is part of the Ruby culture in general, and Jonan and Aaron in particular tend to double-down on it. I don't think there's any hostility to Haskell or anti-intellectualism here.

It seems to me that the poster is not a native english speaker ("soft devs", "the Linux", etc.), and may have intended to say that it "needed" to take place, and that Linux helped bring it about.
