> screw Elixir by the way
Not the attitude I'd be hiring for honestly.
- Fantarina 4y agoYeah, the effects are not going as what I wanted I was just trying to focus the talks on the Erlang language because I'm already aware of the success and opportunities of the Elixir language.
- ethanwillis 4y agoI'd first ask them why they hold the opinion. You might be surprised by the reasoning they have for saying this. Having strong opinions isn't necessarily a bad thing.
- weatherlight 4y agoYou could say, "I don't want to work for a company using other languages on the BEAM VM" or "I considered Elixir and I don't like it because of X" It just seems completely out of context and aggressive. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- ethanwillis 4y agoThe fact that it's out of context and the tone is so different is what made me take it as not so serious and just a playful jab at Elixir. I think the interpretation everyone seems to be taking (which is surprising to me personally!) is such that it's like Elon requiring people to put "Parody" in their name.
- striking 4y agoThere's a time and a place, though, no? "Screw Elixir" might be fine as an opinion on its own, but in the same breath as "I would like a job"?
- weatherlight 4y agoExactly.
- nbap 4y agoRight? I could easily list a few companies hiring Erlang developers, including the one I currently work for but that attitude is a big no-no for me.
- edfletcher_t137 4y agoHaving strong opinions is a great thing, expressing them in such a way is not. Especially if you expect to be taken seriously.
