HN Theater has aggregated all Hacker News stories and comments that mention Erlang Solutions's video "Michał Ślaski - 'Lessons from Erlang VM' ElixirConf EU 2015".
Youtube Summary
In this talk we will discuss designing systems on Erlang VM. One of the reasons the Elixir language attracts the attention of developers is the fact that they have to solve certain types of problems arising in concurrent systems. We will take a look at the real tools Erlang VM gives you to write highly-available systems that let you sleep through the night: dynamic tracing and remote REPL. We'll see how these tools are used.

Target audience:

- Attendees should be familiar with functional programming, actor based concurrency, pattern matching, dynamic typing, TCP/IP.

This is a wonderful talk.

Does anybody know how available are junior Erlang positions? I'm slowly thinking about getting into FP world professionally and Erlang seems to be the most viable way.

There is a site dedicated to Erlang, which also has jobs section with varying Erlang skills required https://erlangcentral.org/jobs/

Thanks a lot! Any info on Warsaw area? I'm just guessing from username you're Polish.
tomekowal
Good guess :) But I am from Cracow, so I don't know about Erlang positions in Warsaw. I know couple of positions in Cracow, though.

Damn Cracow. Every time! When I used to look for a lowlevel developer job I had a feeling that most of interesting positions were out there. And now, considering Erlang, I'm aware of only one company here, which _may_ consider hiring a junior. To be fair I haven't been searching extensively yet.

Very good talk. Like the point about the cost of maintenance. Where it is not just about shiny new features that developers get excited about. But also about the features that help with long term maintenance. Basically making the lives of those developers easy as well.
