Haskell researchers discover industry programmer who gives a shit (2010)
- sshine 3y agoI think this is what's called a constructive proof of existence.
- zihotki 3y agoIt should probably have [2010] in the title
- mattpallissard 3y ago> "That, or it was an off-by-1 error not detectable by our type system," Van Der Linde added. "But we don't, uh, like to dwell on, I mean with good unit testing practices we can, um... sorry, I need to get some water." Top kek.
- aomix 3y agoI had to check release dates and sure enough I can’t discount the possibility the post is making a Red Dead Redemption (1) joke.
- tuukkah 3y agoThe motto of the time was "Avoid success at all costs". Now there's the Haskell foundation: https://haskell.foundation/vision/ https://haskell.foundation/vision/
- tempodox 3y agoWhen I saw the title, I thought it must be from The Onion. Despite being from 2010, I think the article's still relevant. Anyway, I can assure you that the programmer in question is not me.
- catlover76 3y agoIt's clearly written in the Onion's style. This is the guy who wrote the "dread pirate Bezos" post about AWS right? Glad I found his blog again (now on Medium).
- meepmorp 3y agoHe also wrote the Google platforms rant: https://courses.cs.washington.edu/courses/cse452/22wi/papers/yegge-platform-rant.html https://courses.cs.washington.edu/courses/cse452/22wi/papers... which is still pretty relevant today, imo.
- catlover76 3y agoAh, that was the post I was thinking of, I think. Thanks!
- tempodox 3y agoInteresting rant. I had to laugh about this: > We’re, like, 99% Arrogance-Free. I did start this post – if you’ll reach back into distant memory – by describing Google as “doing everything right”. - which doesn't sound arrogant at all. And then he goes on to describe how Google is essentially too arrogant to let users set a default font size in fucking Chrome. I don't use their spy tentacle and don't know whether they relented since, but it's just too funny.
