Have we been using the same Google?

[a: 1, b: 2] == [{:a, 1}, {:b, 2}]

Or maybe atom vs string keys in maps?

%{a: 1} vs %{"b" => 1}

Or keyword lists always needing to come last in lists?

[some: :value, :another] # error

[:another, some: :value] # valid

Or maybe something else entirely. Those are just things I remember having to lookup repeatedly when I was first learning elixir.

When I read comments like this I can’t help but wonder where people like you work. It’s completely unrepeatable to me. I work with really good people, all the way to the tip, and no try to make money by increasing value for our customers.

Apple, Google, Walmart, Amazon, Home Depot, Anthropic, Toyota, and a hundred other companies all offer me incredible value for so cheap. Why are people so cynical about a world that offers them unimaginable riches everywhere they look.

Sure there are bad companies. And if you work at one of those, go get a new job.

Why do people feel that each and every tool they use needs its own unique look and feel? And why are people willing to pay more for that? In some cases, sure. For my smart sprinkler app.. I don’t give a damn if it looks like 1000 other apps.

It’s very impressive that this can run locally. And I hope we will continue to be able to run couple-year-old-equivalent models locally going forward.
