> In a world where everyone is remote and where 10 Elixir people apply to every job, this product must have been pretty unappealing That's really inaccurate, not everyone is remote and looks like post COVID most companies will be hybrid office/remote. So hiring is still a problem, and getting hired is a problem for people who don't want to be 100% remote. > "We can underpay cheap devs again" I don't think Rails devs are particularly cheap though I'm not sure if that's what you meant. > mutation bugs, monkeypatch bugs, and concurrency bugs (just forget running your test suites in parallel) Rails comes with parallel testing since Rails 6. As for concurrency - I know that Gitlab moved to Puma (a threaded webserver) and tons of huge companies use Sidekiq which is threaded as well. I'm not saying there are never any problems but it seems to work well for many many companies.
