The craziest thing with Elixir is that you can do things all by yourself in the same time that would normally take a big team and consequent infrastructure to do.

As someone who's spent the bulk of his career in Rails and then Phoenix, to me it's the other way around: everything else is just so goddamn slow and unproductive. Don't people realise that it doesn't have to be like this?

Wait, are you saying that you are more productive in Rails than in Phoenix? That seems to be the opposite of what the consensus view in this thread is.

I'm reading it as "Rails and Phoenix is more productive than other technologies".

Yes.

You are more productive on the thing you know the most. Shocking

No, I'm saying that I'm more productive in either Rails or Phoenix than I am in anything else.

(And of the two, I'm more productive in Phoenix, but I didn't mention that in the comment you're replying to.)
