This week starts with Amos describing the new features elixir 1.7 and Chris explaining some queueing theory. Afterwards Anna describes her experience solving a bug in her crypto-currency exchange. This leads to a discussion on how to find bugs in distributed systems, the dangers of generating data based on types and how to guide generators so they find more bugs.
