Erlang Solutions: Comparing Elixir vs Java
After many years of active development using various languages, in the past months, I started learning Elixir. I got attracted to the language after I heard and read nice things about it and the BEAM VM, but – to support my decision about investing time to learn a new language – I tried to find a comparison between Elixir and various other languages I already knew.

Erlang Solutions: Naming your Daemons
Within Unix systems, a daemon is a long-running background process which does not directly interact with users. Many similar processes exist within a BEAM application. At times it makes sense to name them, allowing sending messages without requiring the knowledge of their process identifier (aka PID). There are several benefits to naming processes, these include:

  1. Organised processes: using a descriptive and meaningful name organises the processes in the system. It cla … ⌘ Read more

Erlang Solutions: Technical debt and HR – what do they have in common?
At first glance, it may sound absurd. Here we have technical debt, a purely engineering problem, as technical as it can get, and another area, HR, dealing with psychology and emotions, put into one sentence. Is it possible that they are closely related? Let’s take it apart and see.
