Time to stop making announcements on Twitter. The full text:

I hereby officially announce the Elixir type system effort is transitioning from research into development: https://elixir-lang.org/blog/2023/06/22/type-system-updates-...

A huge thank you to Fresha and Starfish for sponsoring this new stage. They are also hiring:

What does Starfish do? Their website makes vague references to "decentralized organizations", "focus on payments and banking". I cannot tell if this means it's all cryptocurrencies or what their work actually accomplishes.

Scrolling through their blog, I think something's getting lost in translation; their idea of a "decentralized organization" sounds more like a flat hierarchy in the style of Valve, but you've got to try to parse this tortured "starfish vs spider" metaphor to get there. https://starfish.team/blog/adaptive-vs-reactive-strategies-w...

Likewise, I clicked "portfolio" expecting some samples of their work and instead got another unintelligible sales pitch and a mailto: link. Their corporate culture sounds nice, I like their healthy attitudes toward remote work, but maybe they should get some native english speakers to edit their copy?
