Talent and experience are not the same thing, and I would say experience is a lot more correlated to demand of talent than to supply of it. More demand means more opportunities to get experience.

As a counter point, nearly all the good senior engineer with experience in elixir i know have all accepted non elixir jobs in the past few years and are still in them.

Every time they go on the market for an elixir one, they cannot find good jobs and the few good one reject them.

As I regularly point out, i have hired whole elixir teams in 2 months multiple time in the past. If you cannot find us, the problem is that your hiring process and work practices are pushing us out. Not that we do not exist.

Why be so unnecessarily subversive?
