This is a great article. I've also seen tech debt exacerbated by poorly implemented agile practices. One of the worst projects I worked on kept kicking the can down the road because of a misguided idea that everything should be a custo

The presentation is really impressive! I'd be interested to know how much time/resources went into this if Levi is on here?

This is actually the other way round. Given: 1. People who learn Haskell put in a lot of effort for their own learning benefit - they're not usually learning Haskell to get a job. 2. Once you learn Haskell you really kind of want a Has

It was? I still can't see it... AFAIR the problem with WriterT was the use of mappend within is always lazy, regardless of the strictness of the w in WriterT w m a.

Excellent write up. One point though: watch out for WriterT and RWST leaking memory: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25280852/space-leak-in-pi... It's often better to just include the writer part you need

Biggest thing for me: have a small number of fundamental, composable abstractions. Be able to reason about how their properties interact when you combine them. This is the main reason that Haskell is such a force multiplier for me. All the

Any info on when this (or the XPS 15 with linux) will be available in the UK? I just had a look on Dell's website, and as expected it's still a shower of shit WRT finding what you want. I bought one of the first or 2nd gen XPS 13s

I learned to program on a warship heading to Iraq in 2003. From a book, with no internet. It's amazing what constraint's will do for you - I'm not sure I'd achieve that feat now in the presence of constant distraction!

Got a link to the talk/slides? As someone who works in a bank I'd be really interested what a truly green field approach looks like!

This seems similar to the idea of a spark file? http://lifehacker.com/5941997/defrag-your-brain-with-a-spark... edit Also do you have anything written down about using org-mode for todos and ideas?
