ThinkingElixir 094 - Benchee and OpenSource with Tobias Pfeiffer
In episode 94 of Thinking Elixir, we talk with Tobias Pfeiffer about his popular performance benchmarking tool Benchee. We learn about why he created it, what’s special about it, and the big features in the latest release. It was 2 years between this release and the previous one. Tobi talks openly about the technical challenges that compounded with personal challenges, feelings of obligation, anxiety, and the drive for perfection. As developers, many of us struggle with these same issues and it helps just hearing that we’re not alone.
