My point was simply that Rich built Clojure to solve his own problems, not to coddle beginners. Beginners are the lowest common denominator not because they are stupid but because they are inexperienced, by definition. > Moreover, the mo

That's quite a judgement call to make based on the utility of error messages. I can't remember the last time I was blocked based on a Clojure error message anyway. Errors are less frequent and usually pretty obvious. I think you&#

Thanks for the pointer. That does look interesting. RN not yet GA though? I also noticed Framer announced an upcoming tool 'Framer X' with React support -- not sure if that includes RN either.

Very good write-up, thanks for posting. Some of the frustrations definitely hit home. I think for small teams and indies React Native is an awesome piece of technology that can enable them to target both platforms where it would be nearly i

I don't recall any "specific techniques that were important in the 90s are no longer important". A bad algorithm then is still a bad algorithm today. OTOH the GPU and advances in ML have had a pretty dramatic effect on the la

I definitely think somebody with some CS chops has an advantage. Here's an interesting paper from some students that applied some filtering based on some of Fenn's other clues. https://dalneitzel.com/2016/05&#

I was looking at Fenn's poem the other day and did a little frequency analysis. It's interesting to see three 'W's on one line, two 'Q's on another, every other letter present except 'X'. Maybe find t

Get really good, then freelance or build your own stuff. I think most people put in their time in the office grind before building a network and skillset, then disengage over time.

Yes, and when you answer them correctly you get the offer. It's only getting easier for autodidacts in this industry, with OCW, Stanford Online, Udacity, etc. The degree itself is a pretty terrible filter unless it comes from one of a

Quite a lot of fuss over not a lot of real estate. Not much here to indicate that Peter considers this a real bug out plan. At this stage it seems more likely that he just enjoys the views.

Nope. You've built a comfortable work environment and the discipline required to be an effective remote worker. No reason for the company to expect to capture all the value in this. They're already saving on office real estate. Ve
