I am now super curious which big tech company is betting on Elixir?

Preach. I found the whole "just use stdlib" culture in Go so annoying. I love the language (both Go and Ruby actually), but Go's ecosystem and tooling is eons behind.

Maybe I am comparing apples and oranges, not sure.

Good.

Not bad - horrible.

Started it back at the end of 2014. I have been maintaining a twice-a-month publishing schedule (roughly) for the past two years.

In the past year and a bit I've been focused on writing about backend topics from a Go angle. Usually the posts are +3K words, with relevant code examples, explaining a deep technical topic. I always try to I take the reader from first principles and build the knowledge up from there.

Here are a few popular ones:

* 14 articles (and counting) on Testing in Go: https://ieftimov.com/categories/testing-in-go

* Understanding bytes in Go by building a TCP protocol: https://ieftimov.com/post/understanding-bytes-golang-build-t...

By "the appropriate comment" you mean, and I quote:

There was never a better time in the history of the internet where "all the IT knowledge" was more available and easy to get.

And the sysadmins are doing pretty well I am sure, they'll pitch in here once they find their way out of Terraform's documentation.

Bundler has been out since 2008. Just saying.

Any tips on starting a newsletter? Or resources on landing pages, the newsletter design or mailing platform? Or anything you wished you knew before you started? :)

Kudos on Opps Daily, big fan here, it's great!

Exactly my thoughts.

I don't get this. At all. The guy is in Macedonia, which might be his core problem. switching to the bay area, the situation is vastly different.

Switching to the bay area is NOT an easy thing to do for someone that is not from the USA. There are a lot of open positions across Europe as well, but, most of the countries have really tight immigration rules (visas, work permits, etc). To move from a third world country to an advanced country (USA, Germany, UK, whatever) you have to be exceptionally good. Not Average Joe.
