Clojurians Log v2

Just-emblogginated... Side-stepping the Secretary Problem, unwittingly. https://www.evalapply.org/posts/side-step-secretary-problem-hiring/ Sharing here on account of Clojurians-adacent context:

*The Secretary Problem*

  > "How many applicants do you need before you find the right one? One? Five? The entire community, every time? :laughcry:"
  >    — A fellow slacker in the Clojurians Slack.

  The asker isn't joking. Any proposal to use unfamiliar technology, especially programming languages like Clojure inevitably triggers managerial hand-wringing about the hiring pool.

  And what could cause more Managerial Hand Wringing than than trying to hire in a niche of a niche… You see if you can go back to 2014 and find QA people, in Pune/India, willing to learn to read and write Clojure code, to help backend engineers test a rather large SaaS, written in Clojure?
