Micro-TILs

Recently I started learning elixir. During this process I came across two TIL blogs.

First one is TIL app created by Hashrocket.

At first they created it in Rails .

Recently they created (ported ?) it to Elixir. Source

The other is more interesting to me. One of the (ex?) HashRocket engineer Josh Branchaud has his own til repo Although he hasn't published these anywhere (Other than this public repo) it contains a lot of gems.

The way these are different is that each entry is a small piece of useful information. Small enough that I would not have called it a blog post. But who is to say how much should a blog post be ? After all, a lot of tweets that are just under 140 280 character contain the useful information.

I have collected a lot of notes over the years. I never organized nor published them so far¹, thinking ‘no one needs them’, but who am I to decide ? Maybe someone will find these useful.

So I have decided to publish these as and when I learn. I may post some older ones initially as well.

I call them “Micro-TILs” !!
