Interplanetary File System
Peer-to-peer for the web. No more central servers dictating uptime. More security features. Would be useful to have your website live on after you pass or can no longer afford it.
Phoenix Framework and Elixir/Erlang
This promises to be a modern, ruby-like, easy to use web framework that delivers the scalability and stability of the erlang virtual machine.
Reactive Extensions
The short version goes like “Using the observable pattern on streams”. There is some math behind it all.
SRE / DevOps
SaaS, docker, micro service architecture, scalability and security have turned this career path into an interesting one.
ThinkPads
Bought one as a military grade durable replacement for a trashed macbook. Turns out, I love the damn thing and get to use linux. Hot swappable battery is just too cool.
