My buddy Zelda has very strong opinions on this stuff. A reminder that her dad left explicit instructions that he did NOT want corporations to be able to do this to him and that means us too. The bare minimum here is to respect the wishes of those who said NO.

I love the *idea* of the Ash Elixir framework, but boy does it feel like you're just learning a whole new language again. Maybe it'll just click at some point. Feels like you're truly at the whim of the Ash folks for every piece of the project though (because they have thought of everything)
