Mani provides us with strategies and tactics to get Deep Work time and how to get our minds into that focused state for hours at a time. He has read hundreds of books that have taught him the secrets to getting more done by getting into this state.

This guest barely needs an introduction and we roll quickly forward from his one-punch knockout book Elixir in Action and onward. Saša makes the panel consider what we could and maybe should be doing with Elixir in the future. We talk about his talks, his libraries and his overall vision for what the future could and possibly should hold. Rather than reading this, you should be listening because the erlangelist is talking and it serves us all to pay attention.

In this episode of Elixir Mix, Feather Knee joins us to discuss her recent ElixirConf2020 talk on LiveView components, what its like learning LiveView with a React background and where LiveView really shines as a framework. We also chat about fall foliage, pumpkin recipes and ghosts, since it’s that time of year.

In this episode of ElixirMix, we talk with Lukas Larsson and John Högberg about the JIT compiler that will be landing in OTP 24, the performance implications that come along with it and the inside scoop on the Erlang core team.

In this episode of Elixir Mix, we are joined by inimitable Luke Imhoff who takes us on a wild journey through his background from low-level, to high-level and straight back into compiler land as we work our way towards talking about Lumen. And what a conversation that is. WebAssembly, working group politics, sneaking binaries into the enterprise and so much more. The big take-away is that the Lumen project is a very cool effort to give us more options for running Erlang, Elixir and friends that are suitable for entirely different use-cases. Also, clearly, that the Lumen team is carrying the torch for all functional languages in the WASM Working Group. If you are curious about Lumen or WebAssembly this one is for you.

Connor Rigby of Nerves fame joins our motley crew to talk about the new Blue Heron library that brings Bluetooth Low-Energy/BLE to Nerves. He goes deep, he goes wide. We learn a lot. And beyond that we cover the Spawnfest darling we know as Bakeware that creates single static binaries from Elixir projects and some Flutter. We almost fall into car talk but mostly steer clear. This is a wild one!

In this episode of Elixir Mix, our panel shares their thoughts on this year’s fully remote ElixirConf, from the Purple Carpet to the remote workshops to an excellent slate of great talks!

In this episode of Elixir Mix, the hosts follow up with Phil Toland on his journey from small startup to PepsiCo Ecommerce and cover lots of important topics along the way. Such as Kubernetes, deleting mysterious S3 buckets, lots of assorted Machine Learning and lots of hype about Elixir in general. Steven fires shots at Go. Bruce wants to talk about Julia. Lars still only really cares about Lumen. And Alex wants that sweet, sweet secret ML sauce.

In this episode of Elixir Mix the panelists talk about conferences as the conference season is hitting its virtual stride. And then it quickly devolves into LiveViews, dead views, UI libraries and of course, Elm. A thrilling ride of an episode according to all hosts and surely some listeners.

In this episode of Elixir Mix, we’re joined by Lau Tornskau, creator of the tzdata library and prolific Elixir open-source contributor, to talk about how to ensure “correctness” of time-related data in Elixir and how Elixir’s standard library has grown to include native support for handling time zones.

The podcasting competition comes to visit as we invite Desmond Bowe on the show. After some questions he flips the script and more or less interviews the panel. It is a dangerous time to be a host.

In this episode of Elixir Mix, we chat with Adolfo Neto, a professor of computer science at UTFPR in Brazil, about what it’s like to teach Elixir, how we as educators can support the Elixir community to grow and thrive, and what the Erlang Ecosystem Foundation’s Education Working Group is up to.

In this episode of Elixir Mix, we talk with Todd Resudeck about how digging into Erlang empowers you as an Elixir developer, what’s so fun about Nerves and what makes him such a charming and hilarious conference speaker.

In this episode of Elixir Mix, we talk with Jon Lunsford about Elixir’s many releases and deployment options, why/how to deploy Elixir with Terraform and we learn why Jon built an SMTP server in Elixir!

We talk with Justin Schneck, co-auth of Nerves, about how he got into embedded programming, why Elixir (and Nerves!) is the the best fit for designing resilient embedded systems and what’s next for the Nerves community.
