Meks McClure (they/them) is an artist-engineer who builds intentional systems with Elixir and Phoenix. They work as a software engineer at GridPoint, using Elixir to accelerate a sustainable energy future, and create technical deep dives as a conference speaker and technical writer. When not coding, Meks can be found traveling, drawing dragons, and exploring the intersection of artistry and engineering.
Have you ever worked on a feature you were proud of, only to have requirements change—leading you to rebuild it again—and again? I did, with a gnarly multi‑step Phoenix form. It was frustrating, it sparked doubt, and it drifted into defeatism. This talk traces the journey to becoming a more resilient engineer by reframing rework as adaptive growth, deleting code boldly, and drawing strength from your community. Expect practical, lightweight habits for Elixir/Phoenix developers to bend without breaking when requirements shift.
