Isn't that the architect who inspired software design patterns? Is that the same book that inspired it?

I don't want to put words in his mouth, but I think patio11 would say that if you care about this, you can't afford him/it anyway. I'm just playing the devil's advocate.

I don't think I agree with this statement. 1. I think you can get some pretty interesting assignments even if you work for someone else. 2. I've worked with developers that work for themselves (contracts/consultants) who writ

That's exactly what it is and I agree. Clojure is awesome because you can almost write the actual code just the pseudo code. > But, when one of these functions takes or returns something you don't expect, debugging the problem

Something missed in this article is the need to reflect and have personal retrospectives. Back when you first learned to code, you may have chosen names for your variables like `foo` and `bar`. This was fine when you're learning how

I can so related to this. Thank you for articulating the problem (I thought I was just doing it wrong). To elaborate on what you're saying in pseudo code, imagine writing this in algorithm in clojure: take a collection -> sp

Out of curiosity, did you start as a company? I always thought the way you're "supposed to start" as a software consultancy is like this: 1. Work part time as a freelancer. 2. Get enough work that you can quit your job. 3. G

Well I think this is only a problem with runtime exceptions. You have no choice but to deal with compile time exceptions (of course you can deal with them poorly if you choose). But it seems the compile time exceptions are unpopular. I th
