   I wonder how many people the author has really interacted with? Even if it was 100 individuals (which is probably unlikely) that's still <2% (I think Apple has > 5000 employees?) of the total organization. Basically a rounding er

   Thanks for the detailed response. The point about atomic deploys is a good one. However, if we all agree that immutable deployments are a good thing, I've been wondering how is that fundamentally different from launching new instances

   Maybe it's just me, but I fail to see how all those project make the developer/devops person's life less complex. I don't have the experience to have managed a cluster of 1000s of machines but I HAVE managed a cluster of

   I used AngularJS a for a little while about a year ago. It made you feel like you're using a different programming language to overcome all the JavaScript shortcomings, which is probably a good thing. In any case though, it feels like

    In terms of media? I used to be subscribed to both Economist and WSJ but eventually found WSJ to be better.

    Personally, I've been using Yosemite and iOS 8 every day. iOS 8 - no complaints whatsoever, at least on iPhone 5 and 6. I've heard some people complain that on iPhone 4/4S it could be slow but that's a few years old hard

    Pure functional transformations over immutable, persistent data structures like Clojure's are an absolutely no-brainer for this type of apps where you get data from a database system > transform > display like HTML, JSON, etc. I

    I am going to semi-quote Rich Hickey (the creator of Clojure): You can do everything in any language, it's about what the language makes idiomatic. So from a very utilitarian perspective, language doesn't matter. However, that&#x2

    Congrats on the funding! What data structures do you guys use for storage and indexing?

    One important point is that once you instantiate like this (def a (ABC. "Roger")) the "name" property is immutable by default, which is different from most OOP languages where you'd have to mark the property as &quo

    Persistent data structures utilize structural sharing, meaning that the current version of the structures shares as much from its tree as possible with old versions. This effectively allows any thread to make a new version of the data struc

    Yes, the Java stack traces are probably the worst "ugly" thing in Clojure but from my experience the simplicity of syntax (not to be confused with familiarity, familiar != simple) makes it much easier for someone who's never
