Also, the size of the elixir community and the libraries available is completely dwarfed by rails. Elixir, Phoenix, all the core stuff is really high quality, but in many cases you might doing more work that you could have just pulled from a gem in Ruby. It's unfortunate IMO. It's an underrated language.
I think the community tends to overestimate the ecosystem’s maturity which is one of the big things holding it back, both because it blinds the community to areas that need improvement and leads to bigger shocks when newcomers do unexpectedly run into the rough edges.
That's over simplifying things ... no, complex gems cannot simply be transformed to Elixir with ChatGPT. You'd have to have an expert in both languages fixing all the bugs.
I’m sure there are optimizations to be made, but DOGE is acting like an insufferable greenie dev who wants to slash and burn without understanding the system or having acquired any wisdom about maintaining and refactoring complex systems.
Might teenagers feel less isolated if they had family around though? I grew up with tons of cousins my age and that was always a part of my social life. Doesn’t matter that I wasn’t 18
This is the beautiful thing about Christmas. It’s a buildup of hundreds of years of traditions if you trace it back to Saturnalia. It’s a mix of ancient and modern customs, folklore from many cultures, and infinite family or personal traditions. The Christian angle is certainly there, but you can leave it out entirely and still have a full experience.
Can we just get some physical buttons back! My tv came with a single multi-purpose button. It’s literally the premise of a dilbert comic. Then the button broke from over use. Just volume, power, change inputs. Not that complicated!
I don’t think less of King for it, though it strongly disagree with him. An artist sometimes has a much different connection to their artwork than the audience does.
Maybe I was over-harsh - I think less of Stephen King's taste in films. And yes, he's absolutely allowed to like or dislike any adaptations of his books. I used to think that the majority of Stephen King film adaptations were likely to be rubbish, but I think there's plenty of exceptions to that now.
I can imagine that King has a very deep connection to The Shining as Jack is probably the closest that King has got to an autobiographical character.

Kimg has a few autobiographical characters, but surely the closest has to be when he literally self inserted himself into the gunslinger series.
I haven't read them but that certainly sounds more autobiographical.
I've also seen the theory that Jack Torrance in the film had been sexually abusing Danny. There's various links with the use of bears (e.g. the fellatio scene with the man in the bear suit) and the subtle use of pornography around the hotel (e.g. Jack reading PlayGirl in the hotel lobby).
I also wonder what the person would have been hired for... maybe QA? I was doing this with random relevant scripts nearly 20 years ago but wasn't given a job where code would be relevant for the task until loooooong after I could comprehend what I was doing
So he’s a naturally talented developer who learned to code as he created his first app. Maybe he didn’t understand specifics, but you have to be able to intuit a lot to string a bunch of AI snippets into an app.
The descendants of Mark Zuckerberg will continue to build dynastic wealth through no skill of their own without doing any real work. Other people in the same country are single parents working multiple jobs just to keep their family sheltered and fed. You don't think that's a situation that we can improve?
