Luckily, the bar for this podcast has been set so low that no one will be surprised. Amos wants to know when you should use telemetry instead of sending metrics directly from your app code. This leads to a discussion on how Bleacher Report uses telemetry, some established telemetry conventions, and how those conventions may be changing. There’s a quick detour into DDD or whoever it was that said, “the database doesn’t matter”. Chris isn’t sure who made that claim, but he is sure that they’re wrong. On the way out the door, the guys talk about Dune, Baby Yoda, and what makes for a good Dungeon Master.

For the purposes of this discussion, blocking and tackling means adding telemetry events to elixir projects. Neither Amos or Chris want to be the ones who have to work out these details and would rather play with chatbots. The main topic this week is abstractions. Chris thinks that the same people who misuse phrases like “Impedance mismatch” also misuse terms like “abstraction,” but he also admits that he’s wrong about everything he says. The guys talk about the differences between abstraction and encapsulation. In the end, Chris only wants to write SQL queries and run them. Somehow the conversation devolves into comparisons between type systems. Chris has a moment of self-awareness, then regresses to standing on soapboxes and shaking his fist at the clouds. elixir, erlang, BEAM, telemetry, abstraction Chris is doing a lot of blocking and tackling, which, it turns out, isn’t about pulleys.
