People seem to still be conversing and I don't see any spiral downward that would justify locking it. I'd leave it open, just my opinion. If someone else with the ability disagrees, not gonna argue it
if you are going to open a thread and then later on request it to be closed then you might aswel not open it in the first place. @drserver try some freelance sites, they most likely give better results for what you seek.
Sorry guys !
But don't you think you are bashing this thread uselessly? He simply asked for erlang developers, why are you all so much disturbed with this simple request? I have seen many people post such requests earlier but rather than helping him people are mocking him.
I see neither bashing nor mocking. People of LET just discussing things.
Well, if you actually read the posts instead of assuming they're "useless bashing", you might know some of the reasons:
Come on, thats insulting. Just because a person knows php doesn't mean they suck at programming. I am a 5+ year php dev, but know a ton of other languages so that implies I am not skilled at my job.
I am not saying that one can't write quality code in PHP, one sure can, there are frameworks which follow best practices and encourage you to use good things such as DI. But do most "cheap" PHP coders use such frameworks and follow said best practices?
That's why I am saying you get what you pay for, at least with Erlang you can be sure you are getting a decent programmer, not some noob "WordPress expert" with "10 years SEO experience".
Couch warriers? remove all professionalism = you're so SAA-AAA-AAA-LTT-TTY deadbeef!!
Ok, I understand. What you said was general enough to be insulting to everyone so please word your statements better next time
.
@drserver: out of curiosity, are you intending to build a phoenix-based web app or even that you can't tell without the NDA?
My guess is VoIP,
I'm sick of providers whinging when people have discussions on a discussion board.
They get to post free ads. If they make a little effort with their ads they can avoid most of the trolling. People talking in their thread then keeps it visible for longer - but no need to thank the contributors for their time.
Seriously - if you want to stick your message in someone's face with no risk of people
If you do want to use LET for free advertising/recruitment/whatever (which you are entirely free to) do your self/brand a favour and at least fake a little bit of interest in the community by participating in discussion(s) and not whinging at people for discussing stuff.
Tl; dr - this is a discussion board not a free advertising/recruitment/tech support service for providers, get over it.
feature addons and maintaining one of most popular mobile chat app on android and ios platform
I bet something releated to ejabberd.
Whatsapp uses erlang.
Not only stupid, but worthless as well. Makes perfect sense you can't understand the function of a forum.
Most decent Erlang programmers, of which there are only a handful, are tied up in long term contracts with people like Ericsson and Nokia.
Both use them in their voice switches, Nokia is still maintaining its old DX220 switch and the DACS variant. They are offering salaries of €200k+ for Erlang developers.
Its going to be a hard sell to get a decent Erlang programmer to work for less, given the benefits that companies like Ericsson and Nokia and offer.
And Amazon, as Erlang is used in some of their DB offerings (SimpleDB or DocumentDB, I forget which).
Yup.
Big companies (at least those with non-awful reputations) have the most to gain by attaching their brand to a job post and, if offering generous compensation, disclosing it, along with any other details that are both attractive and really not trade secrets.
Non-profits come in a close second. At least to me. I've worked well below my normal pay rate for causes that interest me, including some pro bono stuff.
Erlang made Immutability and hot-code reload easily accessible, but when a platform/language is no longer hot for whatever reason, it falls into disuse and fixes/features no longer make it out to the public domain.
These design principles are only now gathering steam in Javascript - React/Flux/Meteor. There was this nice article mentioned in HN blog.yld.io/2015/11/30/building-realtime-collaborative-offline-first-apps-with-react-redux-pouchdb-and-web-sockets/.
I think Rust is also aimed at the same target audience, even if its too early to use in production - maybe a year or two down the line.
