> The impact of you failing to familiarize yourself with the necessarily-complex tools you chose [1] to use seems pretty clear to me. You got tripped up by documented behaviour that you didn't bother to understand, which caused you to spend hours looking for solutions that would have been clear after a ten minute trip to the documentation for the 'supervisor' module.
As I showed in the other post, this is incorrect (at least in Elixir documentation).
Fortunatelly I read that last, as I'd refrained from further conversation but regarding my situation and memory - I didn't choose so, I was born with a specific type of memory and specific traits. It's useful and it built me a rewarding career. Often problems in software are caused by assumptions and I can't have any. Thanks to that I can work on interesting systems that have hair pulling problems.
However this attitude of both shaming "you should just memorize" and "works for me" approach is one I seen often in Elixir's community and why I don't want to have such conversations in official places. I don't feel a need to be present in environment where I'm not welcome. And yet, peculiarily, I'm often brought as a decision maker regarding recommending choosing or sunsetting technologies and given lack of parameters I do fall back and it wasn't that great.

I've consistently rebutted your claims that something wasn't explicitly documented by pointing out where it's explicitly documented. I've also called memorization of documentation a fucking stupid thing to do. > As I showed in the other post, this is incorrect (at least in Elixir documentation). As I've mentioned in the other post, I don't see how this is incorrect, and await your detailed walkthrough.
