Does anyone have good quality versions of the confs that took place at Erlang Factory?
The versions I found are quite bad: Design by Contract
It’s hard to hear people speaking and the code and slides are unreadable.

Making Sense of Elixir Directives
What are Directives?
- Way to declare, import and reference other Modules
- Elixir has four of them
- But, but, why?
^ Think require in Ruby, import in Python
^ Elixir has four, all with slightly different purposes. Based on conversation I was having I find them confusing so I dug in a bit
^ Wrote up my gripes, presented them to Jose & Chris McCord. Summary is they agree it’s confusing, but have a hard time figuring out how to change things already set in motion. So, this is my effort to add some clarity to the situation.

Just watched the talk above ^^ and have to say it’s very inspiring! “We are all Sherpas”.
We are, and even by being part of the community (adding momentum) we are doing our bit 
Edit: this looks good too!

I hesitate to favorite because of humility. Thanks for mentioning my old talk. I just finished José’s talk and it’s really great. I’m looking forward to using GenStage and GenBroker. That’s just what my company needs to introduce Elixir into production.
