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.
