It also goes the other way.

If you're a savvy dev and a search like:

comes up with zero for Elixir, you don't sink time into it.

If nothing else, you know that the low job availability puts you in a very weak bargaining position.

The harsh reality is that when it's your livelihood, and not just a hobby, you HAVE to make these calls, whether you like the answers or not.
