Dear Max, I am hiring for an open position on my team. We are having trouble finding good candidates, and my boss just came in to tell me that we shouldn’t waste time looking for a purple squirrel. I had absolutely no idea what he meant but did not want to let on, and said that we probably shouldn’t hold out for a crimson gerbil either. He paused for what seemed like a year, then nodded and agreed with me. What the hell is going on?
