Is Semantic Versioning an Anti-Pattern?
The classic X.Y.Z style of software numbering, sometimes known as Semantic Versioning, may be hurting more than it helps. Semver.org has codified how these numbers should be used for some cases, describing what is meant by the major and minor version numbers, when to change them, what

Building a CQRS/ES web application in Elixir using Phoenix
I’ve been interested in Command Query Responsibility Segregation and event sourcing since hearing Greg Young talk on the subject in early 2010.

However, while working on a highly concurrent network proxy I came across an interesting realization about how the Go concurrency model…
