A great idea for those who have no idea how to hire people!

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.

But after we disrupted our pivot and enabled a sharing economy, we forgot what we were actually doing and when back to real jobs.

You know why we turn the sound off? Have you heard how whiny and self righteous millennials are?

I remember interviewing for a search company, but then found most of the work and business was spent on adverts! No thanks Google!

Bugs. Make sure it crashes at random times, then it takes longer to become boring.

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.

Rails is not a religion, it a tech tool (a pretty poor one at that), discussing it's many flaws is not shitting on it.

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.

Improvements are a strong word, I thought they were still playing whack a mole on the numerous Rails RCE security issues.

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.
