    Oh wow, I never knew Klarna uses BEAM. I always thought BEAM is vastly underrated and it's even hard for me to convince clients of showing how powerful it (Elixir/BEAM) really is, especially when they're already on something like NodeJS. This will be a nice reference to use in conversations with future prospects.

      I'm interested to see how this goes, I find it difficult to convince anyone to change from the herp-derp status quo.

    There will be winners in this new AI age, and they will be the ones that are technically better, rather than the most popular or convenient for software engineers

    We used to do brilliant technical stuff to get to the moon. Now we do technically brilliant stuff to commit technically-not-usury.

    Progress!
