Thanks for doing these! Is there any chance you could post a write up here of what was covered in the stream?

@kelvinst Hey, did you considered “describing” internal parts of some projects like Elixir core?
I know that many developers, who wanted to create a PR for a small fix, did not know where related code is located. This is not because they don’t have enough Elixir knowledge, but they does not know how it works “inside” (especially Erlang files).
Also I believe that understanding “internal” part of most popular projects like Elixir, Ecto or Phoenix would definitely help not only with increasing general knowledge, but also it could give more inspiration. Less experienced developers would not be afraid looking at source code and this could encourage them to delve into details.
What do you think about it?

Hey! Thanks for the suggestion! My idea initially was to actually create posts on my blog for every livestream, but as you probably noticed that blog never actually happened, mostly because I don’t have time for it, as most of them take 2 hours, and writing all that up feels overwhelming. But I think I could just write up a very overall idea of what happened during the livestream and leave links for it. I definitely want to structure the livestreams a little bit more so that might help on the writing afterwards.
Really nice idea @Eiji! I never actually considered doing that specifically, and I definitely will try that out soon. Maybe it would be a little bit messy, cause honestly, I’m one of those that really don’t “know” exactly how stuff work inside, but I do know how to dig a bit to find it out, and definitely teaching people how I do this digging is valuable.
