Sizzling take:
#Elixir haters were kinda right. It's a bit of a unique situation where hiring **software engineers** rather than framework programmers (the latter is an admirable profession as well, don't get me right) is nigh impossible.
My best performing elixir developers aren't coming from elixir background. Sadly elixir is so good, it's impossible to use a 2013 heuristic of "just hiring erlangers".
