I am now super curious which big tech company is betting on Elixir?

Preach. I found the whole "just use stdlib" culture in Go so annoying. I love the language (both Go and Ruby actually), but Go's ecosystem and tooling is eons behind.

Maybe I am comparing apples and oranges, not sure.

Started it back at the end of 2014. I have been maintaining a twice-a-month publishing schedule (roughly) for the past two years.

In the past year and a bit I've been focused on writing about backend topics from a Go angle. Usually the posts are +3K words, with relevant code examples, explaining a deep technical topic. I always try to I take the reader from first principles and build the knowledge up from there.

Here are a few popular ones:

* 14 articles (and counting) on Testing in Go: https://ieftimov.com/categories/testing-in-go

* Understanding bytes in Go by building a TCP protocol: https://ieftimov.com/post/understanding-bytes-golang-build-t...

* Make resilient Go net/http servers using timeouts, deadlines and context cancellation: https://ieftimov.com/post/make-resilient-golang-net-http-ser...

* Golang Datastructures: Trees: https://ieftimov.com/post/golang-datastructures-trees/

By "the appropriate comment" you mean, and I quote:

There was never a better time in the history of the internet where "all the IT knowledge" was more available and easy to get.

And the sysadmins are doing pretty well I am sure, they'll pitch in here once they find their way out of Terraform's documentation.

Bundler has been out since 2008. Just saying.
