I don't know if I would hire like this, but I do think a lot about the current hiring landscape is pretty broken, so maybe I should! I expect an employer needs a certain amount of cachet before being able to do this or anything else similarly left-field.
Side note - I started down two paths of significant new learning early last year: Security & Elixir / BEAM. I love Security Cryptography Whatever and had no idea you crossed over into the Elixir world (fly.io). Cool!
- tptacek 3y agoI've been at Fly.io since 2020. I wouldn't describe us as an Elixir company so much as a company that appreciates Elixir. Some of our backend is in Elixir but the majority of it is Rust and Go.
- jefc1111 3y agoSome significant names from that world on the fly.io roster :) Like a lot of people I feel like Elixir / BEAM has a real value proposition that is unrealised in the wider IT landscape ... but maybe that's not such a bad thing from some perspectives.
- TylerE 3y agoIt’s a really a shame that Java poisoned the GCed JIT Runtime well. Now everyone assumes that a runtime means it will take 30 seconds and 8GB of RAM to show a loading screen.
