Learnings from developing professionally and hiring/onboarding hundreds of elixir engineers https://boredhacking.com/elixir-learnings-and-hiring/

I’ve prototype LINE APIs library for Elixir, focus on LINE webhook called line_exhttps://github.com/wingyplus/line_ex.

We made tons of improvements to Legendary this week– Tailwind 2, automatic linting, test coverage visualization in GitLab, and tons of bug fixes.

In this post I invite readers to take a (hopefully) practical journey with me learning more about GenServers. I share both my successes and failures in the hope that it can help others learn more about using and scaling processes.

Lots of fun challenges. I used LiveView hooks (which are great) and was very proud not to introduce an actual timer until the very last step of the project.

LiveView lets us do so much without writing custom JavaScript. But sometimes, we have to interact with it. Thankfully, LiveView and LiveViewTest still make it a joy to do so.

Finally, be prepared. Know what you want and don’t want in a new gig. Write it all down (paper is better) and prioritize your interview questions to align with those needs. https://elixirfocus.com/posts/elixir-job-resources/

I think Elixir developers (me included) often misuse Behaviour to define common interfaces.

In this post, I’d propose to use Protocol more for defining common interfaces and use Behaviour more for sharing common logic.

And you may see why I made Promox and Objext to fill the gaps I find in the current Elixir community.

In this post we are gonna see how to handle background processes synchronization using powerful Elixir tools such as GenServer and DynamicSupervisor. Using these tools we can see real concurrent capabilities of Elixir.

For the example application, we are gonna sync GitHub Mentions for a specific user in a given GitHub repository. This sync should be made every X period of time to make sure we have Mentions up to date. We will be using GitHub’s REST API to fetch all Pull Request comments on the given repository, and then filter these comments by Mentions for the given user.

Here’s how I came with an abstraction for consistently running initialization & authorization code in Pubray — an app that’s (almost) 100% routed & served via websockets without reloading the page. And how it turned out in practice after a year of heavy development.

As a prominent app development company, we get a lot of queries such as, “How do you design your own app?” “How do you make an app from the ground up?” As a result, we’ve chosen to write a piece about how to design, develop, and launch a successful mobile app. An app improves user engagement, increases the number of repeat consumers, improves communication, and provides many other advantages. We will here list our step-by-step process for mobile app development on the basis of our experience and on the basis of our app development success.

We don’t touch the code in our projects with equal frequency. The tool for automatically discovering candidates comes in handy by identifying the most frequently modified files with high cyclomatic complexity. Then we can focus on these files and make changes to work with better codebase.
