Exploring Elixir Type Validation with Domo and Ivan Rublev - EMx 271

Welcome to another insightful episode of Elixir Mix, part of the Top End Devs podcast. In today’s conversation, our host Charles Max Wood and panelist Sasha Wolf welcome Ivan Rublev, a backend Elixir engineer with a particular focus on business domains like real estate and B2B.

Ivan dives deep into the Domo library—a project he started to address certain gaps he felt existed within Elixir’s type system. He explains how Domo provides meaningful errors by validating structures against type definitions both at compile-time and runtime. The discussion also covers the inspiration behind Domo, its practical applications, and performance considerations.

Moreover, Sasha and Ivan discuss potential use cases where Domo shines and some scenarios where it might not be the ideal tool. They also touch on domain-driven design principles and Ivan’s interest in seeing Domo deployed in large-scale systems with multiple microservices.

Don't miss it as they uncover the possibilities and limitations of Domo, its impact on compile times, and real-world testing scenarios. Plus, stay tuned till the end for some book recommendations and more details on how you can level up your development skills with Top End Devs.

What it means to be a Senior - EMx 257

In this episode of the Mix the panelists talk about Seniority. They lay out their own personal journeys towards getting a senior title and how they define seniority for themselves - especially how it goes beyond the ability to write code well.

Among other things they discuss:

how to become fluent in reading and writing code
how side projects are useful but not required to become a great developer
how senior developers tend to approach problem solving and how to get better at that
how interpersonal skills play at least an equal role as technical knowledge
how specific tech know-how becomes less and less important the further developers climb the ladder - at least the managerial ladder
how organizational structures cannot be ignored when building solutions

They close with some picks which they deem valuable for anybody who'd like to dig deeper into some of these ideas.

Embracing Open Source and WebAssembly - EMx 254

In today's episode, Allen talks to Philipp Tessenow also known as "Tessi", an accomplished developer with a rich background in Ruby on Rails, Elixir Phoenix, and the groundbreaking technology of WebAssembly (WASM). Tessi shares his journey from creating massive PDF files for a client to pioneering the WASM X project, a robust system that integrates WebAssembly with Elixir, enhancing cross-platform capabilities and performance.

In this episode, they explore the challenges and triumphs of generating PDFs using JavaScript and WebAssembly, the rise of async operations with Rust and Tokyo, and the thriving open-source community supporting these endeavors. They also discuss the practical benefits of Elixir, the importance of having the right developer for the job, and the sometimes political nature of technology adoption in companies. Stay tuned as they unpack the key features and benefits of WebAssembly, Tessi's contributions to the Remote.com global HR platform, and the interplay between WASM, Elixir, and Rust.

Dive in and discover how Tessi balances her groundbreaking work with family life, the continual evolution of the WebAssembly ecosystem, and the vibrant, collaborative spirit of open-source development.
