I found this to be the case too, but the community is very helpful on the forums and IRC. Everyone is really friendly and doesn't troll you for being new.

My way of learning so far has been to take in the docs to get the basics, stumble and fumble around on my own, look at code from open source projects, experiment with those things in my app and then as a last resort ask for help from one of the community outlets if I get legit stuck on something or have a question on best practices that I couldn't find online. It's been working out so far, but it's definitely a much more difficult road than binge watching 100 railscasts videos because every feature you want in your app has been designed in a production ready way and perfectly explained on video (that's how I learned Rails in about 3 months while building a quite involved app as my first "real" Rails app a number of years ago).

But like you said, I also came to the realization that Elixir and Phoenix might be one of the most well thought out combinations of software I've ever used for building web apps. Although at times, I do wish I could invent a time machine and fast forward 2 years to see where everything is at.
