This article is pretty close to my own situation. I’ve found that the worst thing I can do is work on features that could potentially block everyone, and the best I can do is grease our code ecosystem by updating libraries, compiler version

I’ve been slowly reading through Steve Awodey's Category Theory, but as someone with not much math background it’s a bit dense. He does have some nice lectures online which help, but I’m not sure how far my understanding would have str

For anyone that may want a deeper look into Category Theory from the perspective of a programmer I highly recommend - https://bartoszmilewski.com/2014/10/28/category-theory-for-p... He also covers it all in f

When we say "reduce programmer cognitive overload" we are usually talking about purity. f :: A -> B There is nothing ambiguous about this function when considering application state and IO. You cannot call fireTheMissile

I should have been more clear. People left due to their unhappiness with the company merger, not the development team merger specifically.

I worked at mobile game companies. Lots of different opportunities ranging from backend infra/dev to game client programming. Sadly it’s a risky business, two of the three places I worked went out of business because they focused on ex

I appreciate the offer, but I would be surprised if a Japanese company would be willing to come even remotely close to my current compensation.

Not the parent but same situation. Been here 11 years. A lot of people can get around without speaking Japanese, but I don’t recommend it. You’ll get a much more meaningful and deeper experience out of living here if you can converse with e

I get what you are saying, but the Dada movement doesn't contradict what I said, it emphasizes that there was a time when doing what was considered anti-art was itself a message. It was a strong world wide protest among aritsts against

Sorry, but as someone with an art degree I have to respectfully disagree. Pissing on a wall and arbitrarily calling it art does not make it art. That style of thinking worked during the Dada movement https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2F

There's been many a discussion here about companies holding out for the perfect candidate, curious to see how many jobs go unfilled for how long.

I've been playing the game of Go for 15 years. I barely know how to play Chess beyond moving the pieces. They are both board games played on a grid. I should be a pro at Chess based on my Go experience? Haskell isn't completely

It's pretty terrible. Here are some personal data points in rough USD equivalency: - Lead developer for social mobile game company in 2010 - $3,500/mo - Brief stint at another game company in 2012 for a few months - $4,200/mo
