Thinking Elixir Podcast
Description
FontAwesome, the internet's most popular icon toolkit, uses Elixir behind the scenes. We talk with Rob Madole to learn how they got there and Rob shares insights to what goes on behind-the-scenes. We cover how they teach Elixir to their team, Rob shares helpful resources, tips on giving good code reviews, pairing, how to find great talent, adding in OTP later, and much more!

Learning Elixir? Pattern matching is a big foundational piece. This FREE course helps you get that "super power" feeling and helps you "get it" faster and more completely. I'm giving this away because I want everyone to have access to it.
