That's too bad. Not that you'd be for sure happy with Elixir. Where do you live?

Hey I understand how I sound, I'm privileged to be doing this job and get paid what I'm getting paid that it's a bit ridiculous to be stressing over stacks. Some people's jobs are to fight for people's lives in Emergencies Rooms or keep public order in dangerous neighborhoods and here I am not pleased that I might have to switch from Ruby to Go lol.

Sorry for the paranoia but ever since I'v found out you cannot delete accounts from HackerNews I tend not to reveal too much personal info. But lets just say that on quite a large radius there aren't any Elixir jobs available to me and Ruby is drying up fast as well. And I don't think 100% remote is something I'd be happy in long term.

I complain about work all the time, I didn't think you sounded like anything :D

> Sorry for the paranoia

No worries--I thought of that after hitting submit. And ya, there are some jobs where I live but I work 100% remote in order to be at a company that uses Elixir and pays me far more than my own country would. Although I'm super happy with 100% remote. I've already blown off one of 2 company meet-ups this year, lol (though really that was more about having to travel).
