A `MapSet` gives you set vocabulary, but the machinery underneath is still map-shaped. The keys matter. The values fade out of the model. grox.io/blog/55-maps...

The old junior apprenticeship taught through typing volume. Agents changed the work. Now the skill is judgment: shaping scope, reviewing structure, preserving prompts, and knowing when generated code should be discarded. Read the blog: grox.io/blog/39-codi...

`@doc` is not a prettier comment. In Elixir, documentation is module data that IEx can read, ExDoc can publish, and ExUnit can test. Write the example you would type in IEx, then let `doctest` keep it honest. Read the blog! grox.io/blog/35-your... #ElixirLang

Teams keep treating the junior problem as talent. Bruce's argument is harsher: the work moved up the stack, agents took the basics, and we kept teaching for the old job. That is a training failure, not a hiring one. grox.io/blog/31-the-trainable-things

Most maintenance pain starts when one function reads input, makes the decision, prints the answer, and loops. Split the work into a functional core, a boundary, and a public API before the file grows around that mix. grox.io/blog/29-building-in-layers #ElixirLang

The useful question is not where the code fits in the file. It is what kind of complexity the code carries. Rules belong in the core, the world belongs at the boundary, and the API keeps the two talking. grox.io/blog/29-building-in-layers #ElixirLang
