I've been using Elixir, which has been wonderful, mostly because of how amazing the built in `Enum` library is for working on lists and maps (since the majority of AoC problems are list / map processing problems, at least for the first while)
Enum really does feel like a superpower sometimes. I’ll knock out some loop and then spend a few mins with h Enum.<tab> and realise it could’ve been one or two Enum functions.
IMO this is very dependent on the risk of cutting once, so to speak. I'd imagine that at PostHog, the idea is there's little risk of cutting many times - iterating - and more damage is done by the measuring taking far too long.
This is true but there is another cost. If you carelessly write you can end up with a system which is a mountain of bandaid fixes; an incoherent and unmaintainable mess.
Mostly to learn some Rust and because I thought most of the features of Splitwise worth paying for would be fun to build. Been loving working in Axum and getting to implement some fun database things
Hey everyone!
I built a little app I thought people in this community might like / find useful, so I thought I'd share here. It's pretty MVP so go easy on me ;)
The app: https://jobcrawler.matthewrkaye.com/
A blog post about it: https://matthewrkaye.com/posts/2023-11-10-jobcrawler/jobcraw...
The idea is to make it easier to find jobs at companies you're interested in (especially in tech) and track your search without the usual bullshit of LinkedIn, Indeed, etc. I also won't sell your data, it's free (for now at least until my hosting costs go up), etc.
Give it a shot and lmk what you think!
I built an app for job searching with some features I've found useful, and I'm excited to share it with HN! The main features include: job recommendations, automated emails when relevant, new postings go up at companies you're interested in, and analytics.
