Mob programming because they don't trust the individual developers to deliver by themselves, mob programming because no one has a clue there and they hope there is wisdom in the crowd, and mob programming because they had nothing else to do.
Ah Scotland, where vegetables is a deep fried battered chocolate bar, fruit is a can of irn bru, good weather is rain and wind, and copper wire was invented by two scots men fighting over a penny.
And a friendly greeting is the 'glesgie kiss'
You would think docker would take all the help they can get, given how bad their current code base is.
Maybe they should be "closing" their blog posts, and let real developers step in.
My breakfast was magical - amazing smoked kippers, marmalade and toast, freshly roasted and ground filter coffee, a handful of fresh berries, and that was just the first course!
If you want to rebuild Rails in elixir, go for it. Seems like a wasted opportunity though - to break away from all things Rails.
And yes, phoenix will end up bogged down like Rails, and hex will end up chock full of crap, it is the Rails developer mentality I'm afraid, they just can't help themselves.
The worst are the new "tech companies with internal recruiters, tech tests prior to interview, twenty stages to offer, who moan they can't attract the best. Of course not! The minute you said tech test, I said goodbye, the minute you said internal recruiters, I laughed as I slammed down the phone.
The best companies that can and do attract the best, still keep it simple - direct face to face interviews, max two stages to offer, no fucking around with shitty tech tests, and making the time and effort for the interview.
Better design? In all seriousness Django - they get this right. It seems to hurt rails developers that it means typing a bit more, or is a little less 'magic', but then python did always attract software engineers, whereas Rails always seemed to attract code "ninjas" at best.
I said this before: phoenix is the new Rails, and that is not a good thing. Phoenix will end up bogged down with the same great "ideas", hex will end up chock full of crap like gems.
Elixir ok, phoenix not so much.
Best part is credit card debt is typically unsecured - spend, consume, enjoy, stick up middle finger when repayment is due. Those who do repay will of course sub those who don't over the long course in the variable rates and fees.
We have painting by numbers for those that cannot paint, and we have agile for those that cannot program or deliver projects. Oh, and agile (TM) really only exists to sell numerous books, conferences, and basically give useless managers and clients a hope in hell of producing something.
The modern day "professional", they may hold degrees, may sound impressive, probably read a few books on the topic from O'Reilly, but basically are not that good. Same with programmers, most are not that good. Same with decorators, or writers, or any field really. There will be the few who like it, learn it, practise it, aim to get better at it, but the vast majority, no.
