  <description>Chris and Amos kick this week off with a discussion on the challenges of working from home. Chris thinks you loose a lot of fidelity when you move to remote work. Way more than anyone wants you to believe. Plus you need to get used kids yelling all the time.
After a brief detour to discuss Ben Franklin's lesser known contributions to science, Amos explains his strategy for deploying elixir apps. The guys discuss the various platforms and techniques one can use to put elixir into production. Both agree that Terraform is basically the worst, but that its also, probably, the best.

  <description>Anna, Amos, and Chris discuss the current state of configuration and the new proposals for making configuration behave in less surprising ways. Chris lays out the context and then claims he's going to stop talking. His silence lasts just long enough for Anna and Amos to provide their own opinions on the situation. Chris jumps back in and provides an alternative solution to the configuration problem and explains why it will never be adopted. As the show closes, Chris continues to talk to much while Anna and Amos provide thoughts on how to help educate and grow the elixir community.
