We’ve built it before — distributed systems, fault‑tolerant services, event pipelines, real‑time apps, production nightmares, and the supervision trees that saved them. Each episode dives into practical lessons from shipping software on the BEAM: architecture decisions, scaling challenges, operational failures, and the patterns that actually work. No hype. No theory without scars. Just hard‑won experience from engineers who’ve been there.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-31T20:20:07.510585+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/beam-there-done-that-7725251"},"episode":{"title":"Who Builds the Next Generation of Senior Devs?

PRs are shipping faster than ever. So why are seniors quietly burning out — and juniors not actually learning? In this episode, Allen Wyma and Francesco Cesarini sit down in person with Bruce Tate — author of Seven Languages in Seven Weeks, co-author of 10+ books on Elixir, and founder of Groxio — who just shut down a 10-year mentoring organization because the junior developer career path had become too unclear to sustain. Topics include: why AI has broken the traditional apprenticeship model without replacing it three scenes from a Tuesday afternoon: Freddie the junior, Martin the senior, and the manager watching the green dashboard — what each is missing about the other two the five modes of AI-assisted coding (completion, mini tasks, debugging, collaboration, vibing) and which ones a junior should actually live in why the pull request is no longer a learning moment — and what to do instead the four things a junior must develop to become a senior in 2026 what leadership owes the next generation, and the one pledge every team should make where BEAM languages fit in all of this — and why Elixir may be the best language for AI-assisted development The productivity dividend is real. The question is whether we invest it or eat it.
