Mind your own business view controller
summary
A critique of MVC that shows concrete alternatives: replaces framework assumptions with ports and adapters and contexts, uses Elixir tools (mix, umbrellas, releases), Phoenix + Ecto examples (notes on changesets), and a merged Phoenix PR (no 989) as a starting anecdote. Proposes organizing code by feature for functional cohesion, testing the domain via tests-as-first-adapter, and a lightweight Raxx/ACE-style endpoint pattern with compile‑time vs runtime config and start_link supervision — used successfully across several projects.
