  • Effective Software Documentation with Everett Griffiths - EMx 180

    Effective Software Documentation with Everett Griffiths - EMx 180
    Jul 6 2022
    Bad documentation wastes time, costs real money, and makes developers unproductive.  Documentation might be bad because it is flat-out wrong (typos, references to an older version, etc.), but more often documentation is bad when it fails to tell us what we need to know.  Don’t let all your hard work go to waste because you failed to communicate what your software is or how to use it.  Today on the show, Everett Griffiths shares his insights on how to approach documentation simply and effectively.

    In this episode…
    1. What got you into documentation?  
    2. Examples, examples, examples
    3. Having an effective feedback loop
    4. Key word arguments
    5. Coding is easy, but documentation is hard
    6. Using mermaid charts
    7. Open sourcing your software
    8. Clean code and clean infrastructure 
    9. Simplifying coding environments

  • Untangling Cloud Infrastructure with Cory o’Daniel - EMx 168

    Untangling Cloud Infrastructure with Cory o’Daniel - EMx 168
    Apr 6 2022

    In this episode the panel chats with Cory o’Daniel which is one of the founders of massdriver.cloud where they try to give teams the tools to deploy production-ready, best-practice, and secure cloud infrastructure.

    The panel talks about the the various options for running software in the cloud - from SAAS providers, like Heroku, to full-fledged cloud providers like AWS - and the tradeoffs these options introduce for the average developer. They go over Cory’s history and how he experienced the pains of some of these trade-offs himself which prompted him to create Massdriver. They also explore which parts of Massdriver are powered by Elixir, and which not.

  • Twitch Streaming with Elixir and Phoenix ft. Erik Guzmán - EMx 157

    Twitch Streaming with Elixir and Phoenix ft. Erik Guzmán - EMx 157
    Jan 5 2022

    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
