It's the start of season 2! My sincere apologies for the large gap. I've had a full schedule working on DockYard Academy, an academy for learning Elixir. The curriculum is completely open-source, so you can see how I'm leveraging Livebook, Kino, and other tools to teach Elixir.

I'm joined by Jeffrey Mathias, Co-Author of Testing Elixir, Effective and Robust Testing for Elixir and its Ecosystem. Jeffrey was one of the first figures to make me feel welcomed in the Elixir community and has been a tremendous source of personal inspiration. We chatted about a range of topics including what it was like being a junior, testing, community.com, how to be more inclusive in the software industry, and animatronic robots.

Elixir enables fast onboarding. At least, that's what I had heard. That's why when I received an offer to interview for Elixir, I accepted, betting that I could learn enough in time.
Through the story of how I transitioned from JavaScript to Elixir in 14 days, We'll talk about how to make a resume fast, how to employ different learning strategies, and how Elixir and the Elixir community can support you.

Programming can be fun, but it can lead to feeling stressed. Allow this stress to sit for too long, and that can lead to a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion usually referred to as burnout.
In this episode, I'll share my own experience with stress and burnout (both present and past) as well as some strategies for dealing with it. -
Pair programming is a way to collaboratively program with other developers. In this episode, let's talk about how pair programming is useful, how you can maximize the effectiveness of your pair programming sessions., and how to adopt pair programming as a practice on your team.

When you start learning software development, you eventually pass the point where you go from learning, to actively seeking a job. That experience is difficult, because you may not feel ready, but in order to progress as a programmer, it's important to get hands-on real-world experience.
Here to discuss that with me today is Matthew Baker, former MEDEVAC Crewchief and fellow Elixir Newbie.
