Just using cool functional languages has little to do with this work culture. Lets not propagate this notion please.

- scrollaway 10y agoThat's not what parent said. You read what you want to read, but parent only said they're doing "cool work" and that cool work happens to be in Scala/Haskell. Sigh.
- abraae 10y agoI didn't agree with the sentiment either but I think you're stretching here. If I say "they're doing cool work with clay and steel" that means the coolness is intrinsically linked to those things. That's how I'd read it anyway.
- scrollaway 10y agoYou can do boring work with clay and steel, and you can do cool work with clay and steel. Saying you're doing cool work with clay and steel doesn't imply that "it's cool because it's clay and steel". There's two ways to read it definitely, but I have a problem when someone decides to read it one way, and complains about that particular interpretation of what they're reading...

- bogomipz 10y agoHe said they were doing "cool work" in response to a post about a notoriously bad work culture. So that response was in fact on point.
- geodel 10y agoUnfortunately thats the reality of many 'cool work places' where your years of experience in delivering products will not be important enough if it not in Scala or some such.
