AppSignal but not so satisfied. It is not so easy to find things I need like request params. It is easy to find request but then there is no way to view surrounding logs which actually show params.

I might be doing it wrong but I still deploy Elixir by building it locally in Docker, copying tar.gz to local disk, scp-ing to the target server and manually unpacking it there. Tried Kamal but philosophy to have proxy in front of app without possibility to use for example Nginx is too limited.

Is it in Elixir 1.19? Because in 1.18 it does not work.

All in all pushing JS and web technology everywhere IMO is one of the worst things that happen to the software industry. Such one-way mind approach was not even present back in the days of VisualBasic and Pascal when those languages were promoted like the best and easiest for learning prorogramming

Perception. Key word. Not knowledge. Management in most cases has same wish. Get something fast and cheap that can bring more money. Problem is in engineering side that, due to the lack of knowledge, cannot offer appropriate solution. Chooses dev.language by how easy next job can be found.

I do not agree. They followed lack of knowledge. It is hype "JavaScript is used everywhere let's use it too". Young devs learn what is easier and lack any knowledge about memory management, TCP/IP protocol (word "socket" for them means only WebSocket 😝) and all other essential things.

I agree. That often is not the case. Yet it does not remove the fact that software development took the wrong path 😀 At least IMO.

Easier and quicker most of the time means worse and it turned out to be the case in the modern "desktop" applications. It is very rare case where desktop application was web first. Taking editors as a typical example.
