What are anti-patterns? | Elixir Anti-Patterns Guide

In this first chapter of our Elixir Anti-Patterns series, we'll introduce the concept of anti-patterns and their importance in Elixir development. We'll explore the structure of the Anti-Patterns Guide, including the four main categories of anti-patterns and how each is documented.

Join me as we set the foundation for identifying and understanding common code smells in Elixir. We'll discuss why recognizing these patterns is crucial for writing maintainable and efficient Elixir code.

Hey Elixir Mentor,
as always thanks for this series!

I got one question regarding the overall ecosystem of elixir.
Is there a dedicated lib/framework for api only applications, or do most people use phoenix and strip away some features/files?

Also, how is the state of using an ffi for cpu heavy tasks? I am thinking about using python for some tasks regarding maths, like matrices. I know a bit about ports and tried it out and it seems to work really good, but i dont really understand if there is a good way to structure the input so the python script runs a specific function other than using case-switches. Is there a best practice for handling these situations?

Keep up the great work 😊
