Elixir Mix

Want to see Elixir/Phoenix out in the wild? In this episode, Allen sits down with Erik Guzmán, a developer whose proficiency in Elixir/Phoenix enabled him to created instant closed captions for both Twitch and Zoom audiences. The two discuss why Elixir is so seamless in its scaling capabilities, how Elixir’s ability to reveal errors sooner saved Erik’s behind once or twice, and the biggest lessons Erik learned from burn out. _“Because of how scalable and efficient things are, every client on Twitch is able to connect directly to my servers and get captions. I’ve been able to make a richer user experience.”

• Erik_

In This Episode Why Erik moved from Ruby to Elixir and why it’s seamless for scaling
How Erik’s live streaming programming for Twitch and Zoom is changing the game for speech-to-text
What Erik learned from building code manually in Elixir/Phoenix, revealing something not-so-great about Ruby on Rails
How Elixir reveals errors before they become life-threatening, saving Erik from a world of hurt
What getting laid off and burnt out taught Erik about streaming, programming, and sharing Sponsors

Coupon Code: "DEEP" for a GIANT discount 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. He starts by telling us how he was passed over for a promotion at Qualcomm in favor of someone younger and less experienced and how that inspired him to figure out what the other guy was doing differently. He learned that he needed to get more done with the time he was spending on his projects. The trick? Deep Work! Deep Work is the ability to spend uninterrupted, focused time on a task to bend your entire mind toward the goal. Other developers call it "Flow" or "the Zone."
