As your company grows & scales out, both in terms of people & software, a common pattern is to split the software up into multiple services maintained by multiple teams. Watch @ferggo's talk 'Conway's Law Compliance in a Many-Services Architecture.' youtu.be/tz9KbBChyWA

If you have been waiting for the grox.io public core Elixir classes to resume, now is your chance. We still have two more slots. Learn core OTP abstractions, layering techniques, and Elixir design strategies. Nov 9-11. Ping @GroxioLearning to join.
We're ramping up plans for @GigCityElixir again. Right now, we're thinking May. It will be good to get our conferences rolling. Who would tentatively come? #myelixirstatus

Elixir + Embedded programming on a Raspberry pi in literally minutes ❤️ (I have half a dozen devices running in my house because of Nerves, it’s incredible)
This has to be my favorite video I've put together. I ♥️ Nerves youtu.be/-b5TPb_MwQE

Thanks to Livebook and Picam, I have completed my HandTrac demo. They are great tools❤️ In contrast, the performance of my demo is terrible. I think it's about 3 FPS at best. It's not practical at all. OK baby, this is the starting point🤠

β-release: tfl_interp/Tensorflow lite module for Elixir Supported Nerves armv6, armv7neon and AArch64(not testd) Still a little complicated installation method :-< ex. MiDaS runs on Nerves/rpi3 livebook with Picam.
