Listen "19: Elixir and Art with Milada Majáková"
Episode Synopsis
We cover the news then talk with Milada Majáková about combining Elixir and art. Milada came new to Elixir from Architecture and Graphic Design. We reject the idea that people are either logical or artistic but not both. She shares her journey, what it was like learning Elixir as a first programming language, creating generative art using Elixir and LiveView, and much more!
