Calendar.strftime doesn't recognize %l as valid
This code
Calendar.strftime(post.inserted_at, "%l:%M%P %A, %B %-d, %Y")
produces this error
invalid strftime format: %l
even though the %l option is documented here.
Any idea why? I’m running elixir 1.14.2.

More then likely you want to use the docs here: Calendar behaviour
So, in your case you probably want:
Calendar.strftime(post.inserted_at, "%-I:%M%P %A, %B %-d, %Y")
Notice the %-I. See Accepted padding options in that section.
