That makes perfect sense. I was just a little late to the party :)

Slack is one of those few platforms, where their success makes no sense to me at all. I hate using it, I hated their bloated desktop apps, I hate the separate passwords/emails for every location you log into. I hope to one day understa

I agree, of course there are some practical concerns. I dont dig too deep into a BSOD memory error, I mostly just replace the block. But in general, I recommend following the rabbit hole just far enough to eliminate most surprises.

I do get that he was playing out a "persona" in the piece, and I was commenting on that persona.

What a goldmine. We should put together an endless checklist of best practices for all parts of webdevelopment. So many apps are lacking, so many built on outdated/inferior tech. Currently there's just too much knowledge to consum

Certainly I would want upcoming developers to share as much as possible, to get as much help and as many pointers as possible. But personally, I want to see your best. In the authors case, he's seemingly improved a lot since writing th

Last commit was 2 months ago, so I wouldnt say unmaintained. And Ive yet to hit a bug.

Having read through this, I fail to see any benefits over using existing tools like Clojurescript+React. What am I missing?

Well, it definitely got a chuckle out of me. Good job!

Hi guys, Nice and responsive interface. I did a quick search for Clojure jobs and found 1. The page said nothing about hours, compensation, expectations about the actual work/results. Might be a cultural issue, but in northern europe w

Well - Maybe you're right. I hope to find out some day

Ah the memories. I attempted to integrate J-lang into Clojure at one point. Imagine doing (defn average [coll] (j +/ %#)) And have it run at the speed of C :) (I failed because I didnt have the patience to sort out all the type-casting

Its interesting, that he centers on him being a 'creative person' and thus he needs a 3-day-meeting-week to function. Im more an engineer, and I keep a strict 2-day-meeting-week to operate at peak effeciency.

I should have added a better explanation. Im not saying you shouldn't negotiate hard, Im saying keep a vibe of optimism and friendliness, remembering why you're there in the first place. Make sure every concession is written down

This matches my experience perfectly, both in salary and contract negotiations. You get a long way with smile and a focus on the core: We both want to do something together. > We don't allow you to work on your own projects while wo

"The prediction is based on a very simple assumption that the counts will follow an exponential curve" This reminds me of news reports from the 90s, where the big fear was that Chinese companies would totally take over Europe. The

That doesn't sound healthy at all. If the only difference is that they went to work sick, then I see little benefit. Except to the disease of course, it get spread around more effectively.

Thanks for your added comments, Im intruiqued! If you ever do a screencast of anything like this, make sure you post it on HN - I'd be super interested in following along for a few hours of ARM debugging :)

With a solid post mortem like that, its not entirely lost. But with Adwords we're doing it to ourselves, drives bids up to a level where profitability becomes very difficult.

Im intriqued by the idea of IPFS, but it does seem like you're giving up a lot of control - Has this been used for anything >= mid-scale yet?

I still think Clojure is hot. I recently paired up with a C# developer to look at some rapid prototyping options for React apps. Turns out when we said 'rapid prototyping' our understanding differed by several orders of magnitude.
