Dammit I’m a morning person, aren’t I?

WBC has a compound. Looks like @Equality_House is growing a community.

Haven’t been to many confs, but I noticed this too. Feels like a 9-to-5 conference compared to others I attended.

A 9-to-5 conference isn’t a bad thing, but I have happy memories of @PyDXConf dinner last year. It’s a contrast with #openwest

Two cups of coffee done. That means the day has started. Ready for #openwest.

Enjoying @elliotharmon from @EFF speak at #openwest.
Though he sounds enough like Jello Biafra that it’s freaking me out a bit.

Which #openwest talk to watch? Hey I can watch this without moving from my seat.

It’s like a new generation discovering the Three Virtues of Programming
Laziness, Impatience, and Hubris

Learning a thing by writing about the thing. Brain going slow but it will probably get where it needs to be eventually.

Excited to learn cool things about Elixir & Phoenix from @arthurweagel & @_elnicky #openwest

crap an uncredited Hyperbole and a Half pic and now my brain has completely derailed from this talk.
Twitter: 2016-07-14 Thu 13:12
ok and we’re back to code I can focus again.

Elixir pattern matching to bind values (smells like assignment but isn’t) #openwest
Twitter: 2016-07-14 Thu 13:16
So many memes … more stolen jokes than a Milton Berle tribute show
Twitter: 2016-07-14 Thu 13:18
Good explanation of using Elixir arity as part of function names #openwest
Twitter: 2016-07-14 Thu 13:20
Pattern matching is used in selecting which Elixir function to use in a module, guard clauses for param checks #openwest
Twitter: 2016-07-14 Thu 13:25
Elixir docs generated from code - used in HTML gen, iex help, shoutout given to doctest for inspiring runnable code in docs 👍🏻 #openwest
Twitter: 2016-07-14 Thu 13:28
Elixir pipes are like unix pipes, chaining functions together #openwest
(Syntactic sugar. As a Perl dev I 💜 syntactic sugar)

And now mid-talk I find myself wondering the real life story of Success Kid.
http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/success-kid-i-hate-sandcastles
Oh sorry the talk isn’t about memes.
Twitter: 2016-07-14 Thu 13:32
… and - uh - other stuff. pmap. That looks cool. Launch a bajillion processes in Elixir no problem #openwest
Twitter: 2016-07-14 Thu 13:35
ooh pipeline in Phoenix defines middleware in router (ex shows pipeline :browser, mentions pipeline :api) #openwest

Ecto is apparently a great database layer for Phoenix, extensible, someone wrote Github API query thing? #openwest
Twitter: 2016-07-14 Thu 13:42
2 million connections on a single box
Phoenix channels … “one of the most powerful answers to the [realtime] problem” #openwest
Twitter: 2016-07-14 Thu 13:43
If I don’t look at the screen while the screen is bright, I’m okay. Dark screen means code. Light screen is memes.

Elixir downsides: Learning curve, finding folks to hire, org fit, small (growing) community #openwest
Twitter: 2016-07-14 Thu 14:02
Now @ieatkillerbees is gonna teach us about caching! #openwest
Twitter: 2016-07-14 Thu 14:04
uh oh there’s real learning. Might not be tweeting as much.
Twitter: 2016-07-14 Thu 14:04
I’m not sure how I feel when you fave that.
Twitter: 2016-07-14 Thu 14:14
History, explanation of memory, why we cache, geography of data, algorithms. 15 minutes in. Great dense talk from @ieatkillerbees #openwest
Twitter: 2016-07-14 Thu 14:30
memcached & redis both handle volatile data, but redis can be persistent - better for sessions - @ieatkillerbees teaching me stuff #openwest
Twitter: 2016-07-14 Thu 14:45
Well if @ieatkillerbees says Elasticsearch is cool, I guess I can go check out their booth at the conf. #openwest

I’ve studiously avoided the Perl of 15 years ago, but still enjoy @genehack’s coverage of changes for less fortunate souls #openwest

“Kind of like the BDFL but in Perl it’s the Benevolent Dictator For Right Now” - @genehack explains the Perl Pumpking role. #openwest
Twitter: 2016-07-14 Thu 15:10
Sympathy from @genehack for folks dealing with Unicode in older Perls. Sad nodding and sympathetic patting on backs in audience. #openwest
Twitter: 2016-07-14 Thu 15:14
/r for non-destructive substitution since Perl 5.14? Sorry @genehack I missed that. I’ll start using it. #openwest
Twitter: 2016-07-14 Thu 15:20
According to the survey I’m the only one using Perl postfix dereferencing in @genehack’s #openwest talk 😕
Twitter: 2016-07-14 Thu 15:23
TFW @genehack mentions horrible system Perls and folks suddenly get a hacking cough that coincidentally sounds like “REDHAT” #openwest

“If you’re only going to take away one thing from this talk it should be this” - @genehack says folks to subscribe to @PerlWeekly #openwest
