I am really happy with how my talk from Scala Days turned out! Outlines a strategy for answering the boss’s question of “how will I hire for Elm?” in a persuasive way.
I think this ended up being a more compelling way to present the Elm case studies I gathered a while back.
It was interesting to hear about the different hiring approaches. I know my current employer, Jump, takes the mixed approach. We use almost entirely Elixir and we’ve hired both because someone is well versed in Elixir and those without any prior Elixir experience (such as myself, I don’t count doing Hello World as actual experience). I’m not entirely sure what the challenges have been with hiring, but I haven’t heard about a lack of applicants.
