August 11, 2017Building an artificial Pancreas with Elixir and Nerves (Interview)
We talked with Tim Mecklem about building an artificial Pancreas with Elixir and Nerves to help those with Type 1 Diabetes who want to “loop” — a process which involves monitoring glucose levels, predicting where a person’s glucose levels are heading, then delivering insulin based on that prediction. Tim is a Developer at Gaslight in Cincinnati where he builds software solutions with Ruby and Elixir, and he’s a member of the Nerves Core team.

Show Notes:
Before we get to the show note links, here are some notable quotes from this episode and Oz’s post.
Software engineers go crazy for the most ridiculous things. We like to think that we’re hyper-rational, but when we have to choose a technology, we end up in a kind of frenzy — bouncing from one person’s Hacker News comment to another’s blog post until, in a stupor, we float helplessly toward the brightest light and lay prone in front of it, oblivious to what we were looking for in the first place. This is not how rational people make decisions…
Writing code isn’t really about writing. Thinking is the thing that we do. Eventually that gets translated into running code.
This is a counter-force against the marketing machine of high opinion technologies.
