Must read Elixir resources
Published 15 July 2022
There’s a lot of well made content spread around the elixir community. Some of them are easy to find and some of them aren’t as easy. This is a curated collection of articles and conference talks that I usually recommend to others, grouped by topic.
I hope they can be of value!
