<p>> Not all Erlang/OTP functionality is included in this library. Some is not possible to represent in a type safe way, so it is not included. Other features are still in development, such as further process supervision strategies.<p>It seems like they are re-implementing a half baked OTP lookalike, but they aren’t actually using Erlang/OTP under the hood which gives me pause as the Erlang/OTP implementation has been battle tested over many decades now whereas the gleem implementation is a complete rewrite.</p>

<p>I may be wrong, but last time I checked there was not a statically typed OTP implementation which is kindof a bummer. I think Gleam is the ideal implementation on top of the BEAM but it does just seem pretty immature.</p>

<p>I have experienced this several times lately when writing software with claude/codex. Sometimes vetting and steering the agent takes longer than it would have taken me if done manually. Sure you can just decide not to vet the output and go into full vibecode, but agents tend to do a lot of dumb things (such as not deleting unused private methods or having temporary variables that are not needed).<p>In my experience the most effective work pattern for me is using agents to perform research and feedback on high level design, then I write the code manually, then I ask the agent to review the code for potential bugs/issues and fix those. The agents have a much easier time making small changes once the design is 90% there without going fully off the rails and generating slop.<p>I am working on writing skills to make the agent better but it is a bit painstaking. For example I had to write this inside of a skill because sometimes the agent would just stub out methods and leave TODOs: “always fully complete the requested task before finishing edits unless input is needed”.</p>

<p>In British Columbia there is no special ed and there is no gifted program. It is a total train wreck. After the non-verbal autistic causes everyone to leave the classroom for the 5th time that day it gets really old (I’m not making this up).<p>I was a terrible student until high school — where I could start entering into college classes and/or skip classes — because the pace was too slow and I got bored and caused issues. Having the opportunity to do advanced classes was a huge gift for me and my peers I no longer disrupted.</p>

<p>I think it depends a lot on the operational maturity of the company. Some places are running the LGTM observability stack, sentry for error reporting, 24/7 on call rotations, playbooks for all alerts, etc. Those organizations will have less issues running systems like temporal because the operational framework is already there.<p>Other orgs have never heard of alerts or error reporting and naturally will not catch issues until they are catastrophic (for example services that crash frequently in the background go unnoticed until the crash frequency causes a catastrophic failure). In my experience a lot of issues are pretty simple such as running out of memory, CPU throttling, crashes caused by simple bugs (nil panics). If you have good observability you can catch those issues early.<p>For example: people rag on Ceph that their cluster somehow got into a broken state, but that really only occurs when abuse of the ceph cluster has went on long enough that the cluster finally reaches the tipping point where it is unrecoverable. If you set ceph up, follow the correct replication rules so components are spread across failure domains, and use the metrics and alerts that are distributed with ceph it is actually quite hard to break the cluster.</p>

<p>> In fact the conversion rate between them is about 20. A wealth tax of 1% is equivalent to an income tax of 20%.<p>Sure, but you actually have to work for continued income. Wealth accumulates with no input once established.<p>Wealth has the ability to increase (capital gains) without having to pay tax until it changes hands, whereas when income increases it is immediately taxed at a higher rate. Additionally, wealthy people can use securities as collateral for near zero interest lifetime loans which also bypass having to pay income tax.</p>
