A couple of places I have worked had a ton of extra work when Apple would want detailed information about each release note item, and it just became easier to make the notes generic. Which I would guess is one of the reasons, with the other being tracking/ads.

I would bet the majority of Mac minis sold are used as ci/cd servers for iOS and Mac development. I would also bet the Mac mini is the third lowest selling Mac with the Mac ultra and Mac Pro being the least.
The command line tooling is pretty good, the elixirls/ide integration is pretty poor compared to other languages I have worked with. Some trivial examples while learning live view. Using : in pattern matching brings up erlang modules, instead of the atom I used elsewhere in the file. html.heex and the ~H sigil can’t seem to support both html and elixir syntax intellsense at the same time. I also somehow got def in intellsense to not make a new function but instead autocomplete to def(). Finally, after hearing how great Ecto was I was hoping it could provide some sort of hints based on the names of tables/rows I had provided in the migrations.
