Good to see this mentioned. We are considering running it for some things internally, along with Harbor. The fact that the resource footprint is advertised as small enough is compelling.

What's your experience running it?


I've been working on a kinda-sequel to my first technical book, Northwind Elixir Traders. This one (Phoenix Product Codex) is about developing and deploying a production-grade REST API with Elixir and Phoenix.


Zed is great but not so great if you are trying to copy/cut/paste with the keyboard layout being anything other than latin.


I'm working on my second self-published technical book related to Elixir. The first one has been a surprising success, but since it was about learning to use Ecto on the basis of an old pedagogical toy database (and tiny dataset), the new book is about the development of a production-grade REST API with Elixir and Phoenix.

I find that many books out there are focused on documenting the "happy path" for rather small and simplistic applications without boundary conditions or business thinking behind them.

So, I thought (as with the first books) that it mix things up by also documenting the business context, the questions, decisions, and the decision-making process itself, as well as all the gotchas and "side-quests", rather than showing "here's how you do it" and then expecting the reader to suddenly make the jump from tutorial hell to actually software engineering.

Overall, it's enormously enjoyable, and I hope it goes as far as the first book, and possibly even farther.


I'd be interested in purchasing a copy when its done.

There are degrees of dependence on others, you make it sound as if it's a binary choice.


I don't, the comment I'm replying to does.


Microphones and spectral analysis. Or the same equipment used for flaw detection of welds with ultrasound.


Same here. It truly is a godsend.


Victor Mono all the way!


If it's an act of love why is it retroactively applicable from the year when Hunter joined the BoD of Burisma in Ukraine?
