haha i've abused this recruiting mindset for a decade

it's so easy to scout when a company has this haskell philosophy. either by the interviewers themselves or by the bloggers they hired to guide their team.

the trick? i just..lie. "oh yeah i'm super pragmatic. i'm not hardline about haskell. i don't think you should be fancy." see how easy it is? i am suddenly hired and got a fat raise. and if the company moves off haskell? i quit immediately, get another haskell job, and talk to my former coworkers on the way out to embolden them to do the same.

it helps that i have the "real world" stuff on my resume.

i rode the 2010s job hopping ride as a haskeller doing this. each time a 20-30% raise. and i get to still write haskell. and i am always a top percentile haskeller at the company so i can code however tf i want lolol. suddenly - singletons, Generics, HKD!

so here's to earning another million bucks "noodling around with Haskell" :cheers:
