Chris and Desmond are backed by a very special guest; José Valim! You might know José as the creator of the Elixir programming language and we're excited to have him back as a 3rd time guest on the show.José walks us through a brand new Dashbit project, Bytepack which is a way to package and sell software projects and takes all of the hassle out of the process today. We dig into Bytepack and discuss sustainable open source, Dashbit, and more.

As well as that we also hear about the new Phoenix 1.5 features, LiveDashboard, all of the great new LiveView enhancements, some nice new Elixir additions and much more!A lot of links in this episode, think we got them all below but let us know if we missed anything 👇
