I really enjoyed this. You had me at:
If you are new to Phoenix, you may only recognize the Endpoint as “the thing you sometimes tweak configs in”

That’s a pretty awesome start! I’d might recommend making Chapter 1 about Plug instead since Phoenix is built on it (or if you already have a post about Plug then link to it at the start of the Endpoint chapter). Definitely something I’ll link around to people online.

Thanks! The idea of tackling both Plug and Phoenix in one go was pretty daunting, but it’s something I’m sure I’ll be circling back to.

The way I should have been testing genservers (2016)
Last Wednesday I went to Elixir Meetup in Cracow’s headquarters of Erlang Solutions. It was supposed to be about basics of Elixir and how pipe operator influenced the software design, but I learned another priceless lesson. I’ve been testing GenServers callbacks wrong whole time…

Freshly out - a new blog introducing Telemetry 
For those who are not familiar with Arek’s and Elixir core team’s work on a new open source project - get up to speed guys!
Also here is Arek’s talk from the last ElixirConf EU

@jackmarchant Entirely agree! I’ve always done the make each ‘app’ a library and just have a main app who’s whole purpose is to depend on them, pass names between them for any needed linkages, and handle configs. I’ve always found it so much better than umbrellas.

Good article, but the premise seems a bit unneeded?

Although the matching capability of that is awesome! That would be useful in Elixir if it didn’t already waste _ in numbers (instead it should have used ' as is more common).
