> screw Elixir by the way

This is 100% what is keeping you from getting hired. Folks who use BEAM don’t care if someone is using Erlang or Elixir or LFE or whatever… we care about the problems. This is why we are all on BEAM to begin with. Your immaturity shows you lack the experience to meaningfully understand this. You’re still obsessing with the superficial instead of the problem. Almost everywhere using BEAM is going to be dominated by senior+ engineers who just don’t want to put up with someone who is so assuredly lacking experience.

Your hubris is stunning by the way, to not see your attitude is the problem, I can say I would absolutely never want to work with you… and I’ve been writing for BEAM professionally for 7 years, software development for 15+ years.

That's exactly why I added the last part : to focus the discussion on Erlang and not the BEAM. I also would never want to work with you. If you read the first part carefully I'm indeed lacking experience and I was asking a question about the erlang jobs market and what's in use in the telecom industry
