@ZachSDaniel1 Oh sweet summer child. There are so many things you’ve not yet seen! 😅🤓

[Greg Mefford @ferggo]

@davydog187 @elixirlang Also don’t miss @GigCityElixir

[Greg Mefford @ferggo]

@davydog187 @elixirlang Shhh!!! Don’t look for a couple more weeks! 😅🤣

[Code BEAM @CodeBEAMio]

As your company grows & scales out, both in terms of people & software, a common pattern is to split the software up into multiple services maintained by multiple teams.
Watch @ferggo's talk 'Conway's Law Compliance in a Many-Services Architecture.'

If you have been waiting for the https://t.co/VjDhdf2vW2 public core Elixir classes to resume, now is your chance. We still have two more slots. Learn core OTP abstractions, layering techniques, and Elixir design strategies. Nov 9-11. Ping @GroxioLearning to join.

[Greg Mefford @ferggo]

@redrapids @GigCityElixir Not kidding, this is _the_ conference I’ve been waiting for! So excited! ❤️🚀

[Bruce Tate: grox.io Founder @redrapids]

We're ramping up plans for @GigCityElixir again. Right now, we're thinking May. It will be good to get our conferences rolling.

Who would tentatively come?

@redrapids Said another way, without someone to show them the way, they teach themselves the wrong thing, never learning how to write something that can be _used_ before they try to make something that can be _re-used_

[Greg Mefford @ferggo]

@redrapids I think you’re right, but also when people come to FP for the first time, they often don’t know what you mean when you say that. So instead, they write a lot of unhelpful helper functions _so that_ they can be composed, when a single function would have been better.

[Greg Mefford @ferggo]

@tim_mecklem @joshprice @ZachSDaniel1 @breadattempts Ok ok, I believe you now. 🤣

[DM of Engineering @dmofengineering]

Next time a CEO asks me to explain technical debt, this is going on the slide…

[Greg Mefford @ferggo]

@ElixirOutlaws @BinaryNoggin @ElixirConf @tim_mecklem and @st23am I’m going to need one of you to get me one of these since I can’t make it this year! The 2019 one is definitely one of my favorite tee shirts!

[Elixir Outlaws @ElixirOutlaws]

New t-shirts for ElixirOutlaws’ LazyRiverConf are sponsored by @BinaryNoggin again. Stop by after @ElixirConf for floating with friends and talking about code. #myelixirstatus

@whatyouhide @CodeBEAMio @elixirlang It wasn’t bad during the presentation, but we missed getting to hang out with you before/after the talk. ❤️
