Dag!
I took my internship at Erlang Solutions in Sweden and I have to say that was the most amazing experience ever. I learned a lot about Erlang/OTP and Quickcheck for Erlang.
Moreover I met marvellous people there. Erlang Solutions is a great place to work in. Probably the only thing I missed was a foosball table, otherwise the people that is part of the company are so nice and well prepared that I almost forgot the need to play table football.
The guys that work there are the most high qualified professionals I have ever met. The same for the Trifork guys. At that point the Trifork office shared the office with Erlang Solutions and I have to mention that there is also a huge potential on the Trifork office in Stockholm. They are young and never afraid to work with new technologies, I really miss that office.
Back in Copenhagen the landscape is grey, standard and typical in regard to the software development world...which is kind of discouraging (no offence OOP projects!). There is no one who I can discuss what I just read on the Erlang mailing list or what it is being discuss on the IRC channel.
During my stay in Stockholm I had the opportunity to reach another kind of world that was far from what I have being experienced at school. Suddenly I was no longer alone with my Erlang related issues and interests, just out of the blue we were dozens of us!...well, probably 6 or 7 sometimes, but the point is...I was no longer alone on my passionate interest about functional programming. I loved that sensation and I really miss that.
It has been a while since I finished my internship and I keep only good memories from the Stockholm office: Enrique, Roland, Anders, Jesper Louis, Torben, Robert, Kiko, Thomas, Erik, JD, Dimitro, Stefan and the rest of the crew. I feel very lucky and grateful to have had the opportunity to meet you! .
