Appreciate all sibling comments, they encouraged me to dig further. Read Joe Armstrong's book "Pragmatic Erlang" and the section on gen_server was nothing short of breathtaking. What great and terrible power!!!

It's actually more like "just use Haskell". Having written one of these[1] a decade ago and inflicting it (with the best of intentions) upon production code in anger, I can tell you this often leads to completely unmaintainab

could you dive into the gen_srv a bit more? From what I understand about erlang the value prop is already enormous, what extra does gen_srv add? It seems like people who Erlang understand this intuitively so I haven't really been able

Not only that but now, thanks to you, we can all be high-horse dickheads concurrently .

This is a consequence of the fact that any argument not responded to "flows across" the score sheet and is automatically a win for the team making the argument, no matter how silly. So a "natural" tendency would be to ig

It is nuts, especially in ClojureScript. "Am I missing a key, is the value in the hashmap nil, or was there an upstream error or error in this function that is presenting as nil?"

I know this is going to sound really dumb but I've had amazing luck just calling lawyers with 5 star reviews on Google Maps.

Wow what a great idea. I wish this were a more common online social space format!

I mean its no wonder "vibe coding" is so appealing if this is the incentives framework. Why put brainpower in if it is treated as disposable junk. Just tell the AI to vibe out some slop and move on -- "business" can&#x27

Oh, I don't use anything about CouchDB except the REST API. sorry to send you on a wild goose chase >.< Much appreciated, I'll keep you informed :)

Man this looks super awesome. I will be extremely excited to ditch CouchDB for this (even tho I'm an Erlang fan). I'll certainly be keeping an eye on the project and I'll pitch in where I can!

Ok... you got me. Can you unpack this a bit? Are you saying the consulting services, like, launder techniques and IP from their clients and reuse it other clients or...?

I thought this would be more relatable, like, "chimpanzee engineers found pretending to managers about estimates, chimpanzee managers found pretending to listen".

I'm sorry this is getting down voted. The kayfabe surrounding Rickover and the Nuclear Navy is pretty impressive -- it's hard to find anything negative about it when you do an internet search. For instance, you won't find any

There seems to be a precedent with tech companies that if you do a lot of illegal stuff in the beginning you can count on either failing before it matters or you can buy your way out of the consequences. Bonus points if you induce regulator

Say what you will about anything else, but if you have never been there, I don't think many of you could understand the crippling, unbelievable poverty that exists in West Virginia that the author somehow managed to claw his way out of
