Episode 162 feat. Bruce Tate Elixir Talk

# Episode 162 - Designing Elixir Systems with Bruce Tate
It's another episode of ElixirTalk, this time Chris and Desmond are joined by the one and only Bruce Tate author of many notable titles such as Programming Phoenix and Seven Languages in Seven Weeks, as well as being a frequent speaker on the circuit.
We dig into the new Designing Elixir Systems with OTP book, that James Edward Gray, II and Bruce co-authored. We talk a lot about the way systems are put together, going into depth about the 'Do Fun Things with Big, Loud Worker-Bees' pattern that's advocated for in the book. Along the way we talk about software design, persistence and more.
Come along for the ride, it's a fun one!
