Right now I’m learning.
As a motivating exercise, I’m pondering the scenario that @Cruz posted regarding calculating subtotals and seeing what I come up with. Along the way I’m discovering that pattern matching + function heads really simplifies things. Very cool stuff. 
Meanwhile, I’m reading some books. I’ve made a first reading through the sequential-logic portion of Programming Elixir 1.6 (PragProg) and made it to the Ecto chapter of Programming Phoenix 1.4 (PragProg). I’m really enjoying these two books but I feel like I’m missing a little bit of detail and context, so I’m going to slow my pace just a touch.
I’ve also been catching up on some sample chapters of other books. I read the first chapter of Programming Erlang (PragProg) and instantly wanted more; Joe’s writing style really speaks to me (rest in peace, Joe), so I plan to take a break from the Elixir books and read this one to the end.
