Simplifying Elixir Developer Onboarding
This post tackles Elixir onboarding into new projects with a simple, script-first approach, designed to take a fresh machine from zero to ready without fuss. It focuses on ultimate clarity and cutting out unnecessary complexity. It’s macOS/Linux-centric, but the principles apply broadly. Part of an ongoing series to explore the “perfect” Elixir setup.

Thanks for sharing! That post sounds like a gem for teams working with Elixir, especially those onboarding new devs frequently. A script-first setup approach really helps eliminate the “it works on my machine” syndrome and keeps everyone on the same page. The focus on clarity over complexity is spot-on — too many guides overload newcomers with unnecessary tools and configs.
