Surprised this is comment is not higher. Gatsby was one of the worst technologies I have worked with in my long career of working with various JS libraries and frameworks. Im sure the team is smart and capable, but I would not be advertising their work with Gatsby.
Same thing here. Would be great if the email gives an idea of what the estimated cost will be from each service. Guess we will just have to wait for the first bill.
Early in my career I referenced your article on the js module pattern constantly, and referred it to several team members. I still use it to this day on some occasions. Cheers!
I have a few, but the ones I get the most use out of is a scraper that checks two very popular campground in CA right at midnight when new reservations open up, and reports back what is available. I have plans to automate the purchasing of the sites if they meet certain criteria, but alas always busy with paid work.
Metaprogramming in elixir (i.e. macros) will definitely feel like magic to most. It allows for really powerful abstractions, but doubtful the new guy would have been able to be productive in a month in a large codebase full of them. Your standard phoenix app, yes it is fairly straightforward.
But what does a large codebase full of macros would look like? It's an anti-pattern to have too much macros. They should be used as a last-resort option.
I wouldn't say it's an anti-pattern to have too much macros. Macros are a a tool to solve problems. If the problems require macros or at least benefit greatly then macros it is.
Helium (HNT) is a competitor in this space, and does pay out (in their crypto token of course, though it has been doing very well lately). We have one at my house, and it has been making several thousand a month in tokens.
You can add retry logic in your genServer, but for anything but the most simple use cases, you would want to add a Supervisor and define a retry strategy.
Shopify allows non devs to easily set up an ecommerce store, that is their biggest value add. Things like inventory management, shipping, site hosting etc.
