Example
using the label option to add context can help a lot:
url
|> IO.inspect(label: "url")
|> HTTPoison.get!
|> IO.inspect(label: "raw http resonse")
|> Map.get(:body)
|> IO.inspect(label: "raw body")
|> Poison.decode!
|> IO.inspect(label: "parsed body")
url: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1"
