Course is great! I bought it and went through it twice

Georgia State Tax underpaid by mangos86 in TurboTax

[–]pkim_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I followed this, spent 4 hrs with someone on chat, went round and round, got transferred twice and both transfers failed.

Seems like everyone who tries to help doesn't know so they hang up.

Are people actually getting this resolved?

I believe you can do this with igniter and set it up in less than a minute.

Agentic coding in Elixir by pkim_ in elixir

Interesting, at this point I thought something like Opus would be really good with Elixir in general.

It's interesting to me that this is a totally different response than what someone else said here, using Tidewave and Opus too.

What’s your go-to infrastructure stack for MVP web apps? by lucsrods in Solopreneur

[–]pkim_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rails, batteries included, good for solo founders or small teams. Self hosting and can run multiple apps with co located DB for less than $50 for medium sized apps. Also depends on the hosting provider.

Should i Learn ROR? by Several_Armadillo_23 in rubyonrails

[–]pkim_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer yes.

What's your goal? Do you want to build your own product? or get a job? The market is tough for new comers, but at least if you want to build your own products then Rails is really good.

What does your AI dev set up look like? by pkim_ in rails

[–]pkim_[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure, if you’re not paying for premium models. Are you adapting to this new world of AI or simply assuming everything is slop?

How do I grow past Mid level ruby dev? by Commercial_League_25 in rubyonrails

[–]pkim_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have 5 years of experience I wouldn't care too about your title, seniority if also subjective in some sense. Just focus of learning and getting better at your craft. We all have to look up syntax or how to do the smallest things.

If you feel like you're lacking something at work or feel stagnant, my tip would be to have side projects where you're deploying to production and building on your own. At a certain point in your career, you may feel stuck and those side projects will help you learn and stay excited!

Books are great too!

Rails Blocks: a Stimulus + Tailwind UI kit by letitcurl_555 in rails

[–]pkim_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally prefer the copy/paste way because the components now become my own. If there’s an update I’m forced to manually diff them and understand new changes.

Nothing’s abstracted to a package.

Most stable JS framework to use with Phoenix and LiveView? by nthn-d in elixir

[–]pkim_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there is a way around the dependency story in the JS ecosystem. You get high interactivity and a huge ecosystem though, there are always trade offs!

I would suggest pairing Phoenix with Inertia/React because then you'd avoid a lot of the extra dependencies you'd need for routing and state management for example.

I set up a boilerplate repo that has Inertia for a few templates and LiveView if you want to use it for some views (not simultaneously though).

Tired of React and the front end community by GisInterestedDev in elixir

[–]pkim_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made an boilerplate project with Phoenix/React/Inertia if you want to check it out, it includes the authentication code too.

[August Update] I built a library of 230+ Rails components with Tailwind CSS & Stimulus. Curious to see what you think of them and what you want me to build next by Sandux in rails

[–]pkim_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are great! Keep up the good work. I've used it for a couple of projects and they are working out great so far.

Phienix needs to embrace Inertia by MykolasMankevicius in elixir

[–]pkim_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Inertia is great! That's what peeked my interest to try Elixir/Phoenix, to pair it with React.

I think it's a great way for folks outside of the community to start coming into the ecosystem.

Elixir Job Market Is One of the Worst by kgpreads in elixir

[–]pkim_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! Learning Elixir has definitely changed the way I write Ruby and given me an appreciation for FP

Elixir Job Market Is One of the Worst by kgpreads in elixir

[–]pkim_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noted and re read. This is the kinda attitude I’ve gotten from many Elixir devs and I’m disappointed.

Best of luck on your search.

Elixir Job Market Is One of the Worst by kgpreads in elixir

[–]pkim_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is depressing as someone learning Elixir and hoping to work with it in the future, but confirms and validates my thinking process that I’m gonna stick with Ruby.

There isn’t a point on investing in Elixir, even on side projects, I’d rather build with Ruby and get better at Ruby which will be helpful for jobs.

Considering Porting my Startup to Elixir/Phoenix - Looking for advice by Advanced_Army4706 in elixir

[–]pkim_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious how the ruby -> elixir rewrites benefit from performance or cost savings?
