jrthreadgill,

@grue @vzq this is such an interesting space. The general public has no idea how much of their software relies on open source code and voluntary community contributions. There have been so many attempts to figure out a way to compensate these maintainers, but it doesn't seem like anything has really become the defacto solution. Open Collective and Tidelift are the closest things I can think of.

jrthreadgill, to elixir

If you're new to Elixir, here's a great Øredev intro talk from @lawik --> https://youtu.be/wWRDysIpMFQ?si=GTv_IcXb9jJhVVi3

Really good evaluation of Elixir/BEAM in comparison to other developer tools like Ruby/Rails, ASP.NET, Golang, etc..

There IS a bit of Elixir hype in the video, but it's mostly warranted 😜 And by Lars's own admission, he's a bit overenthusiastic.

jrthreadgill,

@wagesj45 haha, it always makes me laugh when I see this sort of thing. Someone, somewhere is looking at a bunch of logs trying to decide if this bug is worth squashing right now.

jrthreadgill,

@ohlaph @nieceandtows yeah, we're really spoiled for choice nowadays in cross-platform mobile development. It's been a few years since I've shipped anything with Flutter, but I remember the developer experience being superb. And from what I hear, Expo has really made a big impact on React Native development the last few years.

jrthreadgill,

@yournameplease These things are, unfortunately, pretty common.

OP admitted they were pretty green though, so they'll learn with time what makes a good employer for their work style.

Honestly, I'd say stick with it for a bit just to have the experience. Then move on to a different company, which will be a different experience. If it's better, they'll appreciate their new job; if it's worse, they'll know that their first job wasn't as bad as they thought.

jrthreadgill,

@LucidDaemon @Aurenkin out of curiosity, how long have you been using Helix and what do you like about it? I tried it awhile back and liked it, but it wasn't able to break VS Code's iron grip on my dev workflow.
