I check the site maybe once every couple of days, and I don't comment or reply because it usually seems like the post is "old" by then and the discussion has died down. Your comment now is marked "5 minutes ago" and

It's worth pointing out that this code snippet is over five years old and the Clojure style and community tools have evolved since then. That said, if your objection is because it's a lisp and lisps are unfamiliar, then that still

Once I failed a programming test on factorial. I was younger and less experienced in interviews than I am now, nerves got the better of me. I implemented the thing, but with plus in place of multiplication. Before that, I realised I was str

This is pretty and all, but it just seems like an opportunistic ad by the tourist board of Transylvania. If freedom of movement between the UK and the rest of Europe is lost by Brexiting, and they're still willing to accept Brits then

This is very similar to what Rich Hickey (creator of Clojure) talks about when he talks about Hammock Driven Development, I recommend watching him talking about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f84n5oFoZBc

I've had success using it to remember terms, usually term -> description. My problem wasn't that I'd forget what the technical thing was, but that I'd just forget the vocabulary to talk about it. Looking things up isn
