I switched jobs and working as an elixir dev now. I love elixir don't get me wrong, but some of the documentation especially some of the more advanced features in ecto are very confusing.

It doesn't help you can define your ecto instructions in multiple flavors too (inline vs piping)

You can't mix inline with pipe operators without creating an additiona variable too hold the original query.

If we want to make it less niche, there's definitely good working points there. Once people understand how to hit a database from elixir it magically clicks and the other stuff is more trivial.
