Elixir is not owned by Big Tech

I enjoy an ecosystem that is not funded by a megacorp. How does Elixir continue to exist?

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

Elixir Survey 2024 | Curiosum Get latest data insights from Elixir world in annual Curiosum's Elixir Survey edition 2024.

curiosum.com/surveys/elix...

> About a fifth of respondents are new (18.4%), while nearly as many (14.8%) have been using Elixir for eight years or more.

From the graphs, it also looks like in case ppl don't drop off after the first years, they stay with Elixir for years.

A MacBook with an Amazon and other geek stickers

So today is my last day at #Amazon as a Design Technologist after two and a half years. Is the #RTO the reason I quit? Yes and no, but it's a long story; I will summarize it in my following posts. Before going further, remember that Amazon is a big company.

If anything, at least games are upfront about this.

Apps, sites, services, products: if you work on them you know. Otherwise you might not assume that much of B2C and even some B2B software is like this: best-effort, never finished, always changing.

Competition never stops: neither does the world.

Notion – The all-in-one workspace for your notes, tasks, wikis, and databases. A new tool that blends your everyday work apps into one. It's the all-in-one workspace for you and your team

I’m on vacation for 2 weeks. When I come back I can skip my 99+ Slack notifications and get back to speed much faster. How so?⚡️
I leave a “PTO handover & catch-up” doc and my colleagues fill in while I’m out.
How cool is that? 😎 Here’s our public template:
