A very sweet post about Goatmire from Davide Bettio. Of course focusing on the badge as AtomVM is his whole deal. And the badge was awesome! medium.com/@Bettio/goat... #goatmire #elixirlang

The BEAM Bots workshop gave each attendees a balance robot. These work ridiculously well now and experiments continue in the Nerves Discord. #elixirlang #goatmire
Dont join the #nerves discord. I implore you to stay way. For your sanity, don't join. It's nothing but excitement, fun ideas, and nerd sniping. It. Just. Does. Not. Stop. Unless that your thing, then you're missing out.
