Thinking Elixir 157 - Adding Dialyzer Late in the Game
Dialyzer is something that eventually everyone hears about in the Elixir community. It’s a static code analysis tool that has both fans and detractors, and with good reasons on both sides! We talk with Noah Betzen about how he brought Dialyzer to several mature Elixir projects. He wanted the benefits of finding and fixing bugs and to prevent new problems from being added. He shared tools, strategies and other resources for how to get started without stopping everything to fix all the existing problems. If you’ve ever tried to add Dialyzer to a project and aborted, then this discussion may give you the courage and tools to try again!
