Adam Mokan joins the Mix to discuss crawling the web with Elixir. He starts out by explaining he rather unconventional path to Elixir. At ElixirConf he spoke about crawling the web. He admits that his talk was more about architecture of a highly parallelized app with a restrictive SLA. He talks about managing web crawls and not knowing what your clients will send in. Panel

Get the Black Friday/Cyber Monday "Double Your Productivity by 5pm Today" Deal
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."

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. Links
