If you are interested in this kind of things, also have a look at fp-ts and it’s version of pipe and flow. Also comes with various monads to play around with! [1] https://github.com/gcanti/fp-ts

Does MS have an internal memo or something that directs teams to make versions/names not go up linearly? E.g. .net framework/core, xbox, windows and now WSL

I know it’s just anecdotal but I really do think mentoring is usually better offline. It doesn’t mean it can’t be done well remotely. But there are way more hurdles in the way. One of the perks being in the same space is that it is much ea

This kind of sounds like me. My life has been blown up voluntarily and otherwise. These include multiple immigrations, career changes and most recently quitting my well paying job with nothing lined up. Not all of them worked out. But I don

I probably won’t buy Apple Vision for a while but will eagerly follow it. Like the author, I’m mainly excited about using this for work/ productivity. I’ve tried out working in VR using oculus and immersed. I’ve really liked the experi

I think I'm usually decent taking feedback but recently I realised I get really annoyed when someone I don't respect gives me feedback. Doubly so if the feedback is bad or nitpicky. It must be ego, plus my belief that one ought to

Do you have to keep it green and respond right away? I put a meeting in my calendar as “focus time” and then turn off slack. People are usually quite understanding. It also helps to be regular so people know that you are never available aro

Sales & branding strategy feels pretty related to Hubspot or at least people who might be interested in Hubspot.

I wish. I had cut tie with one of them (which was really hard for me with Asian upbringing) but have since reconnected, only to be disappointed again and again. And I gotta tell you, it hurts every time. I understand and empathise how they

Yes it is the only thing that really bothers me about Elixir. In my personal projects, I heavily utilise typespecs which makes it somewhat bearable. But in my previous day job that had a high turnover rate (and hence a huge mess) doing any

IIRC you can’t buy cars in Japan unless you have a certificate proving that you have a parking space for it. So owning a car for lots of people in Tokyo is borderline impossible. If you look at Seoul, with similar density and public transit

I’ve played both and I’ve also enjoyed Horizon more than BOTW. BOTW’s world felt more organic and I loved that the game encouraged having curiosity and rewarded them (Can I go there? Can I solve this puzzle this way?). But in the end, I enj

In lower Elos, it’s pretty obvious if the other user is cheating, so the platforms seem to detect them pretty well.

It's the other way round but I use a time timer[1] to give me a visual indication of how much time is left. I usually put around 40 min & extend by 15~30min if I want to focus more. It doesn't have a big clicky button, but I f

Haha, I did think about using the Korean word instead but just decided to go with the flow. East Asian culture is so intertwined, it's a pity we all have such a love-hate relationship with each other.
