Smart teams hire great engineers and trust them to get good with the stack at hand. Don't get hung up on how much experience you have with a particular stack when looking for jobs.

I've hired Rails developers for Django roles and seen them get productive within weeks.

If you've used Elixir on-and-off for four years you have more experience than the majority of engineers who might be considered for an Elixir role.

What did you like about the Rails developer that you chose the person for the role? Basically, I want to know irrespective of the language, how do I show my "quality as an engineer"?
