It’s Potemkin democracy. The EU is run by the Commission and no EU citizen can vote for them, so in effect they've recreated a politburo and it’s the EUSSR. It was designed to be this way.

I think this misses one of the key points of Elixir, Phoenix and LiveView. How do your benchmarks look when under load? How does each handle 1000 concurrent users or 10,000 etc. In Elixir each LiveView has its own process, how does Django handle that?

We binned any form of coding questions or take home task. Our preference now is to focus on architectural concepts and ability to apply those to a problem.

So, as happened last week, if I’m interviewing for an Elixir dev I’m going to be interested in your knowledge of the BEAM and how it’s features can be used to solve common architectural problems.

I just use Quickbooks. Takes a little getting used to but I can just give my accountant access and they can get what they need to prepare the end of year accounts for filing.

There was a similar project in the UK back in the 90’s aimed at using remote sensing to detect mass graves in Bosnia.

A mix of cursor and claude. I’ve just used cursor to help me write a radar data visualisation tool using SwiftUI and Metal. Never used either before.

In essence I treated it like a junior dev who already knew the tech stack. So tell it what I wanted to achieve then pair program to get it working. Then iterate to add functionality. Once a feature is working, I could then ask it to help me understand how the tech stack was being used. Lots of fun, and very productive.

I followed a similar approach recently to create map layers with Sentinel-2 imagery.

Webp encoded tiles extracted from the CoGs available on AWS then embedded within a pmtiles file.

I was seeing almost an order of magnitude reduction in file size compared to the CoGs with no visible image degradation.

I’d recommend listening to Lenny’s podcast.

Clojurescript. I used it to build an MVP proof of concept for work and now have to watch a small team re-write it using Typescript and Angular

They’re still not at feature parity with 2x the team, 2x the time and 3x the lines of code.

Sounds as much a problem of too many Product Managers all trying to make a mark so they can progress their career. Hence features keep getting added or re-designed.
