Depending on just how simple it needs to be, I'd reach for Sinatra, or Plug, even, actually plug is arguably better since you can easily scale to Phoenix.

it's relatively easy to do simple stuff in Phoenix, too, especially if you're used to "having to learn a lot of the ceremony" around a more heavyweight framework like rails. What is missing is a good database management

You're cherry picking reviews. Don't get me wrong, I 95% believe the lab leak theory for COVI9, but the wet market theory has a reasonably credible history.

And yet the economy grew and the country rose out of the ashes of an incredibly destructive civil war and became a world power, and brought a LOT of people out of poverty. So, maybe don't sweat the little stuff?

I've done both. One big one is Sse connections will eventually time out, and you WILL have to renegotiate, so there will be a huge latency spike on those events. They are easier in elixir than most pls, but honestly if you're us

Sadly it doesn't work that way, unless you can get pay raises that match inflation. Remember, inflation is a policy choice to screw you out of your wages because you have "sticky" preferences. So, if you are getting pay rai
