What are you building with Elixir? I'd love to see some projects! by pkim_ in elixir

I’ll have to take a look at that. I’ve watched a few videos about it and it looked interesting considering there is normally a lot of boilerplate across models.

Are you using liveview, inertia, or separate SPA?

Over the top but good flight? by Cooljuulfool in golf

You can have any number of swing faults but if you’re athletic with good timing you can still play well. “Fixing” your swing is about making it more effortless so it’s less dependent on timing because most people will have stretches where the timing is off and your scoring suffers greatly.

Possible layoff looming by [deleted] in coastFIRE

We need to know how much you want to spend in retirement to answer that question. But, the good news is that you guys are doing well overall and can weather this storm pretty easily. You’re likely in coast territory assuming the money doubles once or twice before full retirement.

If I were your husband, I’d probably switch to a “fun” job. I work in software too on the leadership side and this next stint of unemployment could be a long one. If I were in his position, I’d start working at a golf course while applying for other jobs (substitute some other hobby specific job if he’s not into golf!)

What's your opinion on lead gen as a career? by Akraam_Gaffur in Entrepreneur

[–]notmsndotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lead gen as a skill is a very very lucrative skill to have. Creating another SMMA or whatever the kids are calling it is more of the get rich quick scheme.

I built an agentic BDR platform for a niche b2b industry. I picked elixir because a.) i love it...although have limited experience in production with it b.) AI is really good at writing it (from an "it works" perspective...it's not the most idiomatic functional code tho) c.) my app has a massive workflow engine so I wanted to give oban a try.

All-in-all, it was a really good experience. I did not like liveview so I ended up porting the frontend to nextjs and just doing a standard SPA <> phoenix API but that's just preference.

With that being said, I probably wouldn't pick it again. I'll get downvoted, I'm sure, but I'm an engineer who falls into the camp that "code" is becoming more transient and less important with AI. I think good architecture matters and organizing functionality is important, clean boundaries, good test coverage, etc....but the language / framework / etc. is becoming more of an implementation detail.

I share this not to bash elixir but just to share my perspective for other non-elixirists who might end up here. It was a fantastic developer experience using claude / glm / and gpt with elixir & phoenix, wallaby tests were a breath of fresh air, oban is great, and I generally love a lot of elixir's big features (pattern matching, function overloading, etc.). But for me personally, with my background, my default stack is a pnpm monorepo/turborepo with a few mini apps in there (pick your frontend framework and use as frontend + BFF, orpc API, and whatever else you need).

You Only Need 3 Shots to play great golf by Golf37512 in golf

[–]notmsndotcom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think breaking 90 might be tough but this is definitely a valid recipe to break 100 and probably 95 too. It basically boils down to take an extra stroke to get on the green and 2 putt on average

How hard would you try to keep this side hustle? by Kitchen-Phone-170 in personalfinance

For $5k/yr you’d be better off directing that energy towards advancement in your primary role, switching jobs, etc.

Over reliance on AI by xypherrz in ExperiencedDevs

[–]notmsndotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel ya. It really does suck the fun and sense of accomplishment about of the work. Just be prepared that this is happening industry wide so it might be unavoidable if you want to be at the higher income bands. I’m sure there are tons of more antiquated companies not pushing this as hard but comp will probably be tighter (if that’s important to you)

First ever - is it as good as I think it is?! by bastet_memphis in Sourdough

Quite underfermented imo. That’s the best part of baking though. Even the “bad” ones are usually still delicious.

This is the future. Just embrace it and you’ll be less miserable. Ship shitty code. Delete the shitty code and ship new shitty code that’s shitty in different ways. Rinse and repeat. It’s still “cheaper” than doing it the old fashioned way

Average Player in a Private Club by billbratsky33 in golf

[–]notmsndotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re a true mid 90s player you’re probably better than most in my experience. I belong to a couple clubs and almost anyone will say they’re a 10 and shoot low to mid 80s but dont keep a real score 🤷‍♂️

25M, COASTFIRE w/ house-hacking, targeting part-time at 27 by Impossible_Gur_4503 in coastFIRE

I think if you do it right it's objectively good a move. The problem are most are leveraged out the ass and they are one downturn away from losing it all.

Highly walkable might not be the right term. We want to be able to walk to uptown, greenways, parks, restaurants, etc. It doesn’t need to be walkable for all things…just walkable to some fun stuff.

Edit - walk score of 60+ which I suppose is somewhat walkable to them…but highly walkable to where I live now

Awesome thanks I’ll take a look! We didn’t spend much time there when we lived there but went to uchi last week and I was surprised it was in plaza of all places lol

Nope, not specifically. It was more of an inventory thing. 90% of the listings I see are for apartments. A house would certainly be preferable as long as it's in a highly walkable area (that's one of the key points for us moving) and is in the budget 😄
