I work for an org that does a lot of Elixir (on other teams though, I’m actually a Django developer!). I’ve heard from those team leads that they’ve had trouble hiring people with FP / Elixir experience, which is not that surprising to me. Guess it’s a matter of right place right time.


More orgs should hire experienced engineers and train them on the job.


This, a company to find skilled workers in a niche technology is expecting too much.


Practically insignificant numbers of company will do it. They are racing to bottom to shirk their own future developer pool.


Yeah, right place, right time, knowing right people. I think it's close to impossible to go through from front door cold.
