ElixirWeekly by @elixirstatus

Issue #8

As you might have noticed, this email is a day late. There is a reason for that: a beautiful OLED enhanced, Nerves powered badge and the first day of ElixirConf.

It is a blast. This is, by far, the largest gathering of Elixir engineers yet. 550 people have come to Orlando to learn all things around the language and meet other, like minded folks.

I won't give you a summary of the talks, because other people will write those reviews and the recordings will be available on YouTube shortly. But let me tease you a bit: This is every bit as exciting as I imagined and it was well worth a trip over the atlantic.

And: it's not over, yet.

Elixir Fountain is on Patreon now!
The Elixir Fountain is not only my favorite podcast, it is also one of the things I take for granted in the Elixir community. Starting this week, we can now show our support for this great show by pledging 10$ per month. I am a patron and if you like Johnny's interviews you should consider becoming one as well.
