Visual Studio Code and Elixir

Here I wanted to share my own configuration of Visual Studio Code that I currently use when programming in Elixir. The section about Tasks and Shortcut is taken from this post: Running Elixir Tests in Visual Studio Code/ElixirLS.

Required extensions

vscode-elixir

Custom tasks

Some info about Rust

RUST came out from Firefox to solve problem related to: performance and security.

Why Rust is "faster" compared to C++, C or other compiled language?

Similar to these languages
Strong Type System
Rust compiler uses LLVM suite: Rust compiles to LLVM bytecode and then to assembly language
You can write less code compared to other programming language

Notes from Purple Cow

Purple Cow: Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable

create remarkable products that people seek out.
no one is going to eagerly adapt to your product.
ideas that spread are more likely to succeed than those that don't.
services that are worth talking about get talked about.
it is useless to advertise to anyone (except interested sneezers with influence).
is not marketing done to a product. The marketing is the product, and vice versa.

Takeaways from TDD and Software Design

video

TDD by its own CANNOT leads to good design, obviously
TDD as a mechanism to help us to learn more about good design
Software is "Soft" just because it can be changed, it is not meant to be settled in the stone
Test-first programming can help the team to reduce defects but it will not lead to good design

Code qualities

Setup:

apt-get update; apt-get install nodejs net-tools

Configuration:

export DISPLAY=:99

Internet Scale Services Checklist

A checklist for designing and developing internet scale services, inspired by James Hamilton's 2007 paper "On Desgining and Deploying Internet-Scale Services."

http://mvdirona.com/jrh/talksandpapers/jamesrh_lisa.pdf

Basic tenets

Does the design expect failures to happen regularly and handle them gracefully?
Have we kept things as simple as possible?
