Saša Jurić shares how the team at Very Big Things is building maintainable Elixir code. This ranges from the development processes to code design and organization. He takes some "radical" positions and challenges conventions on a mission to find what actually works well. We talk about his library Boundary and how it helps enforce API designs. He talks about the "Junk Drawer Pattern" and how code analysis helps identify lines of separation for refactoring. A thought provoking and fun discussion!
