Is it any different than Ruby in this manner? I've worked at companies with 60 ruby engineers we do fine. It's called writing tests.

Does stepping on each other's toes happen, of course! but no worse than typescript, java, etc.

I don't buy this argument.

It's 50/50 and really depends on the people, this is just my 8-year old experience, I don't make it as an argument that's truthful beyond any doubt.

There is also the fact that the companies I chose to work with didn't want a lot of Elixir devs and we truly made miracles happen with teams of 2 to 8 people.
