I look at hire me thread every month but really there aren't any interesting candidates. Pretty much everyone is nodejs/react type and I need to hire people that can build software to last. If I see anyone mention Arc in that thread I will instantly send a job offer

Your judging someone on the skill set they choose to market in order to make a living. I’m sure there are plenty of let’s say Arc enthusiasts who when they need to pay their mortgage call themselves a Go or React or Python or Ruby developer.

Also yes you can create pretty damn robust apps in React and Node, fwiw.

Define software to last. My personal definition revolves more around best practices than technology choices. Though I wouldnt build a finance backend in node ...
Is your company actually using Arc?

I wouldn't be shocked if most of the people well versed in non-mainstream tech don't bother advertising themselves as being such.

No, Arc isn't actually a good fit for what we are building.
Nice filter. Personally, for engineering positions I only hire a capella singers who play lacrosse :)
I neither do Node nor react. Mostly in Python, PHP and now Go. But I am not a rockstar or Ninja:). I am mostly a generalist.
...and what is your point exactly?
:) Just in case if you ever need my help :)
