  • Must Listen for Elixir and Phoenix devs

    This is hands down the best podcast about Elixir on the Podcast universe, if not even the best software development podcast out there. It’s informational rich, deep and still enjoyable to listen.

  • Tech podcast by a leftist activist

    This David guy takes every opportunity to push his leftist ideology on the listeners. This is a tech podcast -- keep politics out!

  • New Elixirian

    Recently started learning functional programming and subsequently elixir. I found this podcast and love the blend of general tech discussion and more focused elixir talking points. Favorite episode so far is “End of local host development.”

  • Thinking About Thinking Elixir

    This may be the best podcast about Elixir. The episodes are released at a regular cadence, the audio and conversion quality is great, and the topics don’t feel repetitive. The weekly news summaries are super handy.

    And, the intro music can’t be beat. 😁

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

271: Testing, Searching, and Funding

The Elixir application acts as an intermediary between the open web and the database; if hacked, it can lead to database theft or encryption.
270: Kickstarting the Future of Rebar
Q: What is the worst-case scenario in a hack?
The worst-case scenario can be ransomware, where a hacker demands a ransom to restore business operations, shutting down a company's ability to serve customers.
269: Elixir with LLMs and Expert Arrives
Q: Are your customers using AI to write code? And how does that factor in with what you think about with security and AI generated code?
Many Praxil customers are currently using AI to write code, and they are concerned about security vulnerabilities associated with AI-generated code, particularly when not using a robust framework like Phoenix.
259: Chris McCord on phoenix.new
Q: What do you see as the next step for Phoenix New?
I want to explore async workflows and expand the functionality to include features beyond just building new apps, potentially including integrations with more languages.
