Sophie explains how she prefers documentation to be more clear and more expansive. The panel considers the importance of expounding in the documentation as most Elixir users are new to the language. The panel discusses when the best time to learn OTP is for a developer new to Elixir.  The panel discusses Sophie’s blog post about her work in LiveView. They discuss some of their work in LiveView as well. The panel goes over some of the features they have tried in their projects and the ones they look forward to trying.

In this episode of Elixir Mix the panel discusses monorepos. They start by defining monorepos and sharing examples of what this looks like. The panelists share the pros and cons of working in a monorepo. They discuss the different projects they worked on using a monorepo and what their experience was like.    Monorepos allow for rapid development.  Any developer can pull it down and work on it. They work better for teams who are new with a new project and they are still trying to figure out where everything goes. In situations like these, quality is not a large concern but once quality is a priority monorepos make less sense.    On the other hand, monorepos make it easier for developers to forget that these applications are distinct. It also makes it easy for developers to ignore older versions of applications. The panel considers if monorepos are worth these downsides. The panel considers how monorepos work with Live View. They also discuss using an umbrella project similarly to monorepos.  Panelists Mark Ericksen Eric Oestrich Josh Adams Michael Ries Sponsors Sentry– use the code “devchat” for two months free on Sentry’s small plan CacheFly Links https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monorepo  https://jenkins-x.io/  https://www.facebook.com/Elixir-Mix  https://twitter.com/elixir_mix Picks Mark Ericksen: https://thinkingelixir.com/vs-code-broken-for-elixir/  Real-Time In-Camera VFX for Next-Gen Filmmaking | Project Spotlight | Unreal Engine  Eric Oestrich: grapevine  Josh Adams: https://github.com/mijailr/askimet_ex  Michael Ries: https://empex.co/la.html Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/elixir-mix--6102049/support.

In this episode of Elixir Mix the panel syncs up by discussing The Big Elixir Conference, their favorite talks and what they are working on. The first talk they discuss is Scott Southworth’s talk about medical messaging and the impressive work he does with the HL7 parser.  Next, they discuss Ben Church’s talk about business logic where he talks about leex and yecc. The panel discusses leex, yeccs and their own work with parsers. Cory O’Daniel’s talk on Kubereneters the panel found particularly funny and interesting. Elixir Mix’s very own Eric Oestrich was the keynote speaker at the talk, he summarizes his talk for the panel.The Live View talk given by Sophie DeBenedetto is discussed as well and the panel shares their biggest take away from the talk.    The panel discusses a little of what they have been working on. They ask Eric about his Ponchbrella project. He explains what it is and how it works. Using this hybrid of poncho and umbrella projects for grapevine made more sense to him. He invites everyone to take a look as grapevine is open source. The episode ends as the panel praises Elixir’s flexibility and other great qualities.  Panelists Mark Ericksen Josh Adams Eric Oestrich Sponsors Sentry– use the code “devchat” for two months free on Sentry’s small plan ElixirCasts | Get 10% off with the promo code "elixirmix"CacheFly Links https://www.thebigelixir.com/  https://hexdocs.pm/elixir_hl7/HL7.Query.html  https://github.com/HCA-Healthcare/elixir-hl7  http://erlang.org/doc/man/leex.html  http://erlang.org/doc/man/yecc.html  https://github.com/ympons/expreso  RegEx match open tags except XHTML self-contained tags  https://github.com/elm/parser  Wilford Brimley On His Diabetes - Original Video  Wilford Brimley Diabeetus Remix  https://twitter.com/knewter/status/1192831261624164352  https://github.com/oestrich/grapevine/tree/master/apps  https://www.facebook.com/Elixir-Mix  https://twitter.com/elixir_mix Picks Mark Ericksen: https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/releases/tag/v1.9.3  Josh Adams: https://jenkins-x.io/  Eric Oestrich: https://podcast.smartlogic.io/ Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/elixir-mix--6102049/support.
