Interesting, I've been following Hypothetical Labs for a while now. They're doing some cool stuff. I wonder if they're using Rust for the backend?

Hey @johnsmith, we're actually using Elixir for our backend. It's been a great fit for us so far!

This is awesome, I'm a Senior Backend Engineer and I've been looking for a new challenge. I'm curious about the team and the company culture. @hypothetical_labs - do you have any information about that?

I'm excited to see Elixir being used! Are you using Phoenix or something else for your web framework?

Hey @codingcat, we're using Absinthe for our GraphQL API and it integrates well with Elixir. It's been a good choice for us so far.

It's great to see companies investing in open source. Are there any open source projects that you maintain or contribute to?

Hey @open_source_fan, yes we're big believers in open source. We maintain a few projects, including an Elixir client for our API and a library for working with GraphQL. You can check them out on our Github page.
