We aimed to guide them to applied practice in a development team. In writing this, we found multiple issues that had accrued with time and shifting best practices in the community. These issues became encoded into our toolset. Through maintaining Rebar3, Relx, documentation, and as participants of EEF working groups, we were part of a long feedback loop in the ecosystem. We'll go over the new changes this has led us to make to improve our tooling with very limited backwards compatibility breakage, and how they should improve your life.
