ThinkingElixir 055 - Learning from Failure with Philipp Schmieder
In episode 55 of Thinking Elixir, Philipp Schmieder shares his experience of creating a LiveView application for a political party’s convention and then watching the app blow up! We learn how he recovered, why it failed, and how he fixed it going forward. We also discuss some other application architecture ideas and how they might work. It’s a great post-mortem discussion where Philipp shares his wisdom so others learn from the mistakes. After experiencing all this, find out why he’s still bullish on LiveView and Elixir!
