Publishing
| Platform | Notes | Publishing Complexity |
|---|---|---|
| Dev.to | Community blogging platform — publish Elixir tutorials, articles, and projects | Low — simple signup, Markdown posts, instant publishing |
| Professional network — list Elixir as a skill, get endorsements, publish posts | Medium — requires professional profile setup, endorsements depend on network | |
| Hex.pm | Official Elixir package registry — strongest proof of expertise via published libraries | High — requires working Elixir package, semantic versioning, documentation, and community standards |
