@thms_clrk TablePlus is great

👋 Hey!

I'm looking for a remote #rustlang or #elixirlang consulting gigs, or a contract/permanent position.

I'm a software developer with 20 years of exp, of which last 10 I've been working exclusively with #remote teams.

More about me in the thread.

RT please!

@codestirring I was building something recently and all default methods from the docs to launch graphql subscriptions via absinthe failed. Client side libs seem to be unmaintained for custom absinthe/phoenix transport and graphql-ws seem to be poorly integrated.

[Marcin Lewandowski @mspanc]

@elixirfun I recently started to work on a library that makes even one step further and automatically generates graphql schemas on top of ecto schemas. Saves a lot of pain for CRUD stuff.

@illyism @vercel @rauchg @leeerob Make standalone build (one switch in the config file), put it in docker and deploy on Heroku for fraction of this cost

[Marcin Lewandowski @mspanc]

That should end up in criminal prosecution for Zuck

If you needed yet another reason not to trust VPN providers or proxy services...

Here Facebook partnered with a bunch of companies to have root certificates installed on people's phones so they could intercept other app's traffic.

@rokasdam Standalone build in docker plus Heroku. The easiest and cheap way to launch a container. Not cool for vercel generation though

@supabase Unless you need transactions :)

@Bart_Kamski @antranapp No idea but I suggest using command line tool called ffprobe. It can reveal more details that might help in understanding why it is like that. It might be related to non-square pixel ratio or some other parameter of the codec.

@solnic29a @josevalim @michalmuskala @thmsmlr I started building something similar 2 weeks ago. It’s going to be a library that automatically exposes GraphQL schema on top of Ecto schemas.

[Marcin Lewandowski @mspanc]

@solnic29a @josevalim @michalmuskala @thmsmlr It already does many things better than RoR in terms of MVC framework, but times are different. RoR was competing with ancient PHP. There was no cloud, no lambdas, no advanced frontend frameworks. It’s not enough today to differentiate.

[Marcin Lewandowski @mspanc]

@michalmuskala @thmsmlr IDEs are fine, but do they integrate well with all of 15 runtimes and 4 major package managers? ;)

[Marcin Lewandowski @mspanc]

@DNAutics @josevalim @michalmuskala @thmsmlr And if we’re talking about thousands not millions, we’re in the wrong room. In business, especially VC-backed it’s not a valid argument. Like it or not but “how to deliver fast” is driving the industry, creating jobs, adoption etc., not “how to bootstrap this alone”.

[Marcin Lewandowski @mspanc]

@DNAutics @josevalim @michalmuskala @thmsmlr I’ve seen such projects as well, but somehow that’s still an exception.

[Marcin Lewandowski @mspanc]

@DNAutics @josevalim @michalmuskala @thmsmlr In other words, if I have a few million dollars and limited time and runway to validate the business, why should I pick Elixir instead of JS/Python unless I have very specific case that is well handled by its paradigm?

[Marcin Lewandowski @mspanc]

@DNAutics @josevalim @michalmuskala @thmsmlr There are tons of ways to bootstrap in the small team and not worry about scalability in JS as well. And the capital (=jobs) is not worried about bootstrapping that much.

[Marcin Lewandowski @mspanc]

@michalmuskala @thmsmlr Unless there’s clear narrative on how you can make more money by using Elixir instead of X its growth will be impaired. Simple as that.

[Marcin Lewandowski @mspanc]

@michalmuskala @thmsmlr JS tooling is a pure shit compared to basic set of Elixir tools. Java as well. Don’t get me started on virtual envs in python. But they are popular. There’s no proof for correlation between quality of the tech stack and its popularity.
