Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Thomas Athanas on Building Without Vendor Lock-In
Q: How did you end up as head of engineering at LevelAll and what's your journey to this moment?
Thomas describes a natural progression from senior to staff within LevelAll, eventually sharing leadership as co-head of engineering and guiding the team through complex deployments and strategic tech choices.
Peter Ullrich on Hunting CVEs
Q: What is the submission process for CVEs with the CNA and EEF?
Vulnerabilities are verified, then reported to the CNA via GitHub's private vulnerability reporting, with backups through Slack channels if needed; Yonatan is kept in the loop for final CVE assignment and coordination with maintainers.
Peter Ullrich on Hunting CVEs
Q: What sparked the idea to start scanning popular Hex packages for vulnerabilities?
Peter explains a post-conference hack session after ElixirConf EU that led to conversations about wide-scale hacking and the idea to have Claude generate scripts to analyze Elixir files for vulnerabilities, which quickly revealed a vulnerability in a library.
Luca Corti on Bringing Elixir to Fintech
Q: What drew Sibill to Elixir for the backend?
Luca explains that Elixir was chosen because it aligns well with the need to synchronize large data sets from banks and invoicing systems, and because the Beam's fault tolerance and simple model help build reliable, scalable services for financial data processing.
Steve Domino on Starting a Fintech
Q: What made you pick Elixir for a FinTech app?
Elixir offers high concurrency and availability, proven in telecom-scale transaction environments; it's a great match for millions of dollars in daily transactions and thousands of concurrent processes. Personally, the language is expressive and ergonomically delightful, with features like pattern matching and the pipe-like flow that feel natural after working with Ruby and JavaScript.
