Elixir Mix

This week, the panel gets in and talks about Elixir is not just a specialty language for high concurrency applications with specific performance profiles. They dive into how Elixir can be used in a variety of cases and how it is set up as a language that allows you to solve the breadth of issues that other popular languages solve without being specialized to them.

Shortcode: The panel talks about how to manage state in Elixir applications. Sometimes you can get away with internal structures like gen servers and ETS and other times you have to reach to external systems like redis, mongodb, or postgreSQL. This episode will walk you through the ins and outs of managing state and what your options are and what the tradeoffs are between those options.

Luca Peppe built a health check and heartbeat system for the systems at work in Elixir. While the implementation uses many basic features from Elixir and Phoenix, the way that it underscores the fundamentals of Elixir is helpful for both the experienced and the new Elixir developer.

Chuck and Allen dive into how and where to deploy Elixir and Phoenix applications. They talk through the mostly done for you solutions like Gigalixir and Heroku down to deploying by script to server or VPS hosting like DigitalOcean all the way to building containers and deploying to Kubernetes setups like AWS or DigitalOcean's cloud setup. There are a lot of great options and many of them depend on how much of the work you want to do and how much learning curve you want to take on. Allen and Chuck discuss the tradeoffs of each choice in those regards.

Chuck dives into the 3 essentials for getting the next successful outcome you want in your career. Whether that's something simple like a raise or something more complex like going freelance, you can achieve it by working on 3 main areas. First, building skills. The most obvious type of skills you'll need is technical skills. However, don't neglect your people skills and your organizational skills as well since you're often paid for how you work with people and enhance their work and how you put your work together in the most efficient ways. Second, building relationships. Often other people will be able to help you find the opportunities or will be the ones to make the decisions that impact your ability to get the outcome you want. Having good relationships is key to having good outcomes. Third, building recognition. Being known for being valuable in important ways allows you to leverage the skills you have to build better relationships and create opportunities to get what you need to get the outcom

Kelsey Leftwich explains how Phoenix LiveView made it possible to build a simple drag and drop component without the need for a large front-end framework like React and clunky back-end API setup to make it work. She then described her journey into learning Elixir and Phoenix coming from a React and front-end background.

Chuck explains what he taught Nathan last week when we asked how to get hired at a FANG (Facebook Apple/Amazon Netflix Google) company. Essentially, it boils down to how to build the skills and knowledge needed to pass the interview. How to build the relationships to get into the door and have the interviewer want you to succeed. And how to build the reputation that has the company wanting you regardless of the outcome. This approach also works for speaking at conferences, selling courses, and other outcomes as well as it's the core of building a successful career as an influencer.
