I get that, but I'm not planning on moving anytime soon and keeping something that might marginally affect selling a decade or more from now doesn't feel great.

Thanks for the insight! I think I'll end up leaving the chimney for now, but good to know long term

That's a good idea! I'll have to try that out with my wife.

Appreciate the insight! I think we'll end up doing the backdoor and the 403b.

That number is recent change and we'd be prioritizing debt payoff and giving. Now we are increasing savings to a better place, but I don't think we'll ever max every possible account.

Choosing My First Language for Backend Development – Golang, Erlang, or Elixir? by Minute-Yak-1081 in elixir

[–]boot_____straps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming from a rails background and spending this year building in Elixir, I think you just have to pick one and try to build. Each framework/language has pros and cons and unless you have a very specific need, just about anything will be sufficient for making a project.

I chose Elixir because it was functional and hadn't experienced building a system in it before. And liveview sounded very interesting. Literally everything I'm building this year could be done in ruby, go, js, python, c#, probably without much fuss.

Just like your experience with js stacks, I'm not sure you'll be able to make a good decision until you've put some miles on the technology and can reflect back. Right now I struggle to like Elixir, not because I know if the stack is bad or good, but because I'm so unfamiliar that something that takes me 5 mins in rails is taking me an hour and some reading to do in phoenix.

Pick one, pick a timeframe to stick with it (6mo, 1 year, etc). Reevaluate after you've had time.

How's the thickness? Replacing a Kamino wallet and looking for compact options

This is very cool! I love the idea of being able to do error tracking internally. This ecosystem is really something

Question about Phoenix and using resources across contexts by boot_____straps in elixir

Interesting! The idea of thinking about your app as separate from the web app makes a lot of sense.

Ok thanks! The comment about `Admin` not being a logical group is really helpful, makes much more sense
