Saving repl output is a great way to make tests. It’s often the stuff that is confusing and likely to change that you exercise in that space so if you take what you find from there and make a test out of it someone will likely benefit later

The repl is great for understanding something quickly and easily. It works for big new parts of the code base and small things that you just need to be reminded about. The nice thing is, if you save your repl output, you can really easily c

I worked in Kotlin and Java for awhile and the closest thing I had to a repl was stopping the debugger and running arbitrary single lines of code in the context I paused. It was awful compared to the clojure repl.

I almost always do my repl work in a source code file. That way I never lose it when the repl closes and I can copy it into a test when I know what’s going on.

I work with clojure and test driven development is not nearly as productive as repl driven development imo.

I have not seen a better client state management than re-frame. https://github.com/day8/re-frame Notably the author of re-frame has been weary of hooks. I think that’s for a good reason. The approach in re frame feels

I think the Roam Research style backlinked knowledge management apps are directly enabled by datascript. Two "copy cats" (not meant to be derogatory) of Roam that are open source are: https://github.com/logseq&#x2F

There are OSS linux cli tools and npm packages that do the same thing but I find myself using this web app often. It has a pleasant interface and making all the errors go away usually results in clear writing. https://hemingwayap

Maybe “spirit of an engineer” could be better phrased as “visionary mindset”. Lots of engineers I’ve worked with imagine potential problems and treat them as requirements to solve even though the problem may never actually materialize.

4 months is relatively generous but... > if you can't find a new job in 4 months, it's on you, This statement feels _wrong_. We are all subject to macro trends that we don't have control over. They impact our lives. Even t

I've had the exact opposite experience. I've had to bail out cli purists because they just can't see what went wrong. Objectively git kraken has more visual information density. To get the same information on the cli requires

Isn't a trade off for some efficiency worth things like living wages, safety, and quality standards at scale?

There would still be markets and competition. There would be some baseline price increase when people stop being exploited. At a certain point equilibrium will be met and someone will come along with cheaper toilet paper. The difference wil

Exactly this, do you want 4 hours a day of really productive time or 8 hours of moderately productive time? I only have so much active problem solving per day. I can spend it all quickly then go do something recharging or sit around forcing

Cute way to put it. Just like many I'm in the midst of painful transition from quick and dirty mvp to well engineered end product. Everything Rich Hickey has been giving talks on and clojure itself seem to be the best _solution_ I&#x27

I'm really hoping VR headsets can provide a workspace where people can lay down or stand. The keyboard replacement in those positions might be hard to figure out.

I haven't tried to find something and not found it. The back end is way more mature than front end SPA stuff so I'll just list some things I'm really glad to have in that space - re-frame : like redux but better

I don't think that quote justifies your love of jQuery. The keywords are "some" and "sprinkled in". In my experience jQuery always trends towards a huge mess the more it is used. Sure, it could be used but it really

Idk, no stats or data to back this up but... I really believe that UBI would be sustainable by tapping into the concentrated wealth that arises as an unfortunate and unfair side effect of the economic rules we put in place.
