Short, sweet, and seems like good advice. Love it!
I’ve definitely been overwhelmed by a surplus of meaningless labels when looking at these BEAM introspection tools. Hopefully I can use this to bring some order into the chaos.

I learned something new today. Thank you!

Very nice! And human-written too, we need more of that!

Oh yes - I’m happy to let robots help me write code, and I’d get AI help to write in another language, but for my native language I’d never want to give up my own voice.

Agents have also learned something today
Great article. Straight to the point!

Thanks for your response.
I took hiatus from coding for about 10 years. Although I was still touching a few scripts here and there, I started learning and making stuff with Elixir and the Phoenix Framework since last May.
So yeah, this “process thing” is new to me. And I’m surprised with other stuff there. So yeah, I really learned something.
Have a nice day!
