A bit of self promotion that is well intentioned (I seek to help the elixir community and not sell myself in any way): https://stephenbussey.com/2018/01/08/designing-elixir-superv...

Learning about OTP took several tries for me. It didn't click until I had a few real world trials under my belt, because I couldn't see the use case for things.

I recently did a project where I had to build a distributed "choke point" across a cluster and funnel requests to it based on an ID. A project like that took what I thought I knew about otp design and raised it even more.
