> The way to achieve that is to hire pragmatic, goal-oriented people. (Or at the very least put them in charge.) And that group rarely intersects with the type of people fascinated by the mathematical properties of the type system.
I wouldn't say it rarely intersects - I'm one and I've worked with plenty. And I've seen plenty with strength in one join a production Haskell shop and pick up the other (in both directions!)
Haskell definitely gives you a lot to help manage the messiness you mention. You have to have know-how and awareness to do it, but it can help like none other.
But overall, stuff like this is why I wish to eventually become as independent as I can manage in my career. The intersection of Haskell and management thinking is frequently a bad faith shitshow in my experience, so the sooner I can start creating on my own terms, the better. The best part about Haskell is how little effort I exert solving problems compared to my comparable experience in Go, Python, Java. A perfect match for personal creation.
