It's a tough balance but yeah at some point you gotta maintain "blissful ignorance" with some things, or so I believe

IMHO I think adding a name often helps with making the code more self-documenting, especially when there are multiple occurrences of that variable in other clauses.

Simple one but I didn't know it existed before: `List.duplicate/2`

I always used `length/1` for lists but then discovered `Enum.count/1` which works for enumerables in general.

Nice 🐫
I'm this close to giving up ngl

I also learned some basic usage of ETS as an in-memory cache.

`NimbleParsec` is a library that provides a declarative and concise way for parsing data out of text.

`Enum.reduce_while/3` is an alternative way of doing "early returns" where I was used to do only recursion + multiple clauses for that.

`Enum.chunk_every/4` is very nice for sliding window algorithms.

`Map.merge/3`: I already knew `Map.merge/2` but the 3-arity variant takes an extra function that specifies how to merge two values if duplicate keys exist.
