160: LiveView Async Pattern and Admin Tools

After experience with a LiveView “anti-pattern”, Andy Glassman developed an “Async Pattern” for loading data into a LiveView. Andy shares the problem this helps solve and we discuss when it's a good fit. We also talk with Andy about the current state of “admin tools” in Elixir and he shares his feelings on the importance of building admin tools from the start in our projects.
