[Code BEAM @CodeBEAMio]

At #CodeBEAM America 2021, @lebugcatcher showed us how he is using #Elixir to build a tool to help him write a well-tested and deterministic Elixir book.

Wanna learn all the tips and tricks?!

@gregburd Sorry to hear this. This is very disappointing!

[Adi Iyengar @lebugcatcher]

@atyborska93 It sounds extremely hard. Good luck!👍

[Adi Iyengar @lebugcatcher]

@redrapids Empathy, Sincerity and being a good listener!

[Adi Iyengar @lebugcatcher]

@redrapids Breaking down and analyzing things, and explaining it others!

[Adi Iyengar @lebugcatcher]

If anyone wants to learn a little about Metaprogramming in Elixir and more importantly, watch me embarrass myself doing some live metaprogramming, check this out! #Elixir

[Code BEAM @CodeBEAMio]

In #Elixir we use #metaprogramming features regularly. Sometimes without even knowing it! In this talk, @lebugcatcher covers some of the low level constructs in Elixir, which will help you to better understand how metaprogramming works in #Elixir.

Finished recording another fun @elixir_mix episode on Code quality tools with @wolf4earth @allenwyma . We covered credo, dialyzer, coveralls (and minimum code coverage), formatter and types of testing!

Just recorded a fun @elixir_mix panelist episode with @wolf4earth and @allenwyma on umbrella projects in Elixir. It will be out sometime next week!

@wilton_quinn I had no idea! Thanks for sharing this. We'll make it a point to minimize the use of Cowboy at my work going forward.

Recorded an awesome Elixir Mix episode about Pattern Matching with @wolf4earth, Allen Wyma and @alexburlacu1996

So.. I just realized I made the early praise section of the "Testing Elixir" book.. I still stand by every word of it. It's a must read for any engineer who wants to level up their Elixir skills! #ElixirLang #TestingElixir #myelixirstatus

[Adi Iyengar @lebugcatcher]

Just reported a bug in https://t.co/9LHWAok1D8, and it took them a few minutes to respond, fix and deploy.. on a Saturday!! Huge kudos to @emjii! There is a reason why we love the Elixir community so much.💙 #ElixirLang #HexPM #myelixirstatus

[Adi Iyengar @lebugcatcher]

@swissbeats93 Working on it. Hoping it will be ready by mid-December. 🤞

[Adi Iyengar @lebugcatcher]

Spent my weekend writing tests for code which tests the tool which helps me test the code in my upcoming book. 😅 #TDD

[Adi Iyengar @lebugcatcher]

@whatyouhide This is epic! Will definitely be using it

[Adi Iyengar @lebugcatcher]

In three weeks I will be speaking at #CodeBEAM America, a virtual conference for #Erlang and #Elixirlang developers!

@redrapids Low cost of failure. This generally translates to good observability with clearly defined SLOs and notifications, and with an andon-cord like tool to stop and rollback to a stable release.

[Adi Iyengar @lebugcatcher]

@redrapids In my experience, an interface should be clearly separated from the implementation, idiomatic, introspective (so it can be tested/debugged without touching the implementation), flexible (as needed), and open to change.

[Adi Iyengar @lebugcatcher]

@redrapids Building tools/processes that help other engineers be more productive, and the final product more reliable.
Ex: improving test coverage, making front-end - back-end interactions more deterministic, adding DSLs to complex implementations etc.
