Elixir Outlaws is an informal discussion about interesting things happening in Elixir. Our goal is to capture the spirit of a conference hallway discussion in a podcast.
Episode 37: Why is it called an everything bagel?
This week kicks off with Chris chastising Amos about always being late. The hosts discuss the value of time and recent conference trips. The discussion shifts towards talk preparation techniques, the value of speaking at conferences, and some tips for new speakers.
Chris takes control of the show and does a hard pivot towards the main topic this week; the overuse of processes and state management. Chris explains that most people can get by with a lot less OTP then they think. He and Amos discuss ways that they see OTP misused or overused, the nature of scaling systems and the dangers of building stateful services.
