LT: The Elixir Hiring Paradox
summary
Companies routinely ask for senior Elixir engineers but cannot specify what success looks like in the first 90 days, so searches start without clear deliverables. Hiring teams mistake application volume for market health because filters only check Phoenix/LiveView years, not fault-tolerance reasoning. Interviews rarely probe when not to use a GenServer or what distribution actually costs, producing hires who have used Elixir but do not practice Elixir thinking.
