Weeknotes: 25 March to 29 March 2024
Getting familiar with a new Interactive Elixir command, libraries for parsing RSS feeds, DNS learning, and cross-functional collaboration

What I have found gripping
In Elixir programming, the command iex -S mix compiles files in the iex (Interactive Elixir) console
There are fewer libraries for parsing RSS feeds in Elixir than in Python or Go
DNS is an acronym for Domain Name System
CNAME records are not meant to point to the root of a domain
CNAME flattening is a feature allowing to point the root domain of a website to a CNAME record e.g. CNAME | example.com
