F# is so elegant and terse for writing functional-style wrappers around OO code packages! Unfortunately, you find yourself needing to write functional-style wrappers around OO code packages.
Devils advocate: what if a facial recognition system with a large enough database can always find an unrelated/innocent person that looks similar enough to convince the human?
I mean really most companies have a backlog of feature ideas a mile long, and some tool comes along making your employees 40% more efficient, and the best thing you can think to do is the exact same thing at the exact same tempo but with fewer employees?
The CEO who thinks that way should be replaced due to incompetence, or at least due to lack of vision and imagination.
For fun, ask your preferred LLM (or perhaps a google search would also work?) for specific questions that lifestyle polygraph interviewers typically ask to throw you off your rhythm or to establish a baseline for later questions. No joke, it's an absolute riot.
More seriously, I'd be reluctant to take a polygraph-based job. If the very concept is flaky and you fail out at the beginning, no big deal. But I'm not sure I'd want to invest in a career in which something that flaky could on its own start creating career problems for you years or decades in.
I don't think current employment law allows, but as a software candidate I'd much rather assess the company/team fit on a trial basis as well. (Am neither a lawyer nor HR)
