ThinkingElixir 107 - Catching Up with Alex Koutmos
In episode 107 of Thinking Elixir, we caught up with Alex Koutmos, a co-host on an Elixir podcast, book author, and OpenSource library creator. We talk about some of his well known libraries like PromEx, but then go into some of his potentially lesser known ones like Doctor, Replug, Unplug, and MJML EEx. I’m happy to learn more about MJML EEx, an email formatting library for improved cross-mail client readers! We talk about the Nerves Weather Station book, and his new book project Elixir Patterns that makes heavy use of Livebook. Come enjoy a deeper visit with an Elixir community contributor!

Apparently he decided to live-stream how he’s going to create a semver library.
