Let's build something phoenix.new (Friends)

Author: Changelog Media June 28, 2025 Duration: 1:35:31
Our old friend Chris McCord, creator of Elixir's Phoenix framework, tells us all about his new remote AI runtime for building Phoenix apps. Along the way, we vibe code one of my silly app ideas, calculate all the money we're going to spend on these tools, and get existential about what it all means.

Each week, the team at Changelog Media sifts through the noise of the software world to bring you a thoughtful mix of news, analysis, and conversation. The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source is more than a weekly brief; it’s a long-form dialogue with the developers, maintainers, and thinkers who are shaping the future of technology. You’ll hear in-depth technical interviews that go beyond surface-level takes, exploring the real challenges and triumphs behind significant open source projects and industry trends. The discussion is grounded in the daily reality of building software, making the content immediately relevant whether you’re a seasoned engineer or deeply curious about the craft. This podcast operates with the belief that open source is more than code-it’s about the people and the communities that sustain it. By tuning in, you join a conversation that values depth over hot takes and substance over speed, all while keeping a pulse on the weekly developments that matter. It’s a consistent source for anyone who wants to understand not just what is changing in software development, but why it matters and how it all fits together.
