Interesting, thanks for clarifying. I run a small 8 person software team in a software-is-secondary business, so articles like yours are helpful for me as I discover new terms and approaches to leadership.

Good insights. Small nitpick, I have no idea what the terms "EOS" and "L10 meetings" mean.

CMG is the ticker symbol for Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. With Schwab you have to apply for level 1 access to option trading, but it's pretty straight forward and quick since buying is low risk.

xkjkls gave a great answer, but does it matter? If the HN crowd upvoted it to the front page then enough people thought it was a valid topic that warranted some discussion.

I would highly suggest https://thinkingwithtypes.com/ - it's not a 2000 page monster, and specifically addresses what you are interested in.

I am going to disagree with this simply because it's talking about the stack , not the language. As a Haskell developer who uses a much more complex stack than provided in the article, and seen too many "there aren't enoug

This reads to me as, “You filthy FP advocate, you have no clue what real maintenance is!” I’m not saying the type checker alone is enough to perform large scale maintenance, you and I both know there is more to it than that. At the end of

Yes. I didn’t outright say “Haskell” because it seems to draw even crazier comments out. That said, I’m aware not all of my points apply to numerous FP languages.

I was literally commenting about your point on “maintenance“.

This comment pretty much sums up my own experience, including learning Go, then Haskell, and the final takeaway - have pretty much given up talking on the internet about Haskell.

Exactly this. I've been meaning to write a blog post about what my team does with Haskell for the last 3 years, and while I think there are some gems of information we could provide to the world, at the end of the day it's incredi

Well, to be incredibly pedantic, it takes time for the light being reflected off of things to reach your eyes and be processed by your brain, so you are always observing the past even if it isn’t remotely perceivable :)

Not being at the top is simply a scaling problem, not an opportunity problem.

Advancement is typically a pyramid, which means not everyone can reach the top. It is impossible for everyone to “be above you in the org chart or retired.”

If I recall correctly the plane was built to stretch at high speeds, so the panels were designed to be loose, and the plane would leak a lot of fuel until it reached optimal speeds.
