The best way to build a dev team: Go where the devs aren’t

I'm the author. I actually think it may be awhile before we actually start to see jobs posted, unfortunately. I think the pattern is largely:

1) Let's try it out internally 2) Hey, this is cool. Let's go to the meetup. 3) Wow, this meetup is full of fired up devs. 4) Let's hire someone we met there .... time passes .... 5) Ok, now we seem to have become at least partly an Elixir shop. Let's post an ad.

Ironically, because it's so easy to find great devs who want to work with new technologies like this, you don't actually have to go to the trouble to post an ad, leading to the (incorrect) impression, that there are no jobs at all.

I am as well!
