I really like the idea of approaching rapid development like writing an essay or a blog the first time. Just getting all the words out on the paper goes a long way; same thing goes for programming.

Another example of the genius of Radiohead comes from the fact that in the early days, Jonny Greenwood, Radiohead's brilliant guitarist, used to write software to generate sounds the band would use in their music versus using standard

I typically use vim, but this method jumping feature is one of the best features for jumping into a new or large project. I was wondering if there was any vim plugin for something similar? Also - the Model dependency diagraming is phenomena

Well I think Lisp's biggest strength is also its biggest weakness: macros. By being able to bend a Lisp to your will, you trade your ability to standardize the language and build a community of libraries and tools around it. That being

I don't think 80% at an early stage is ever justified as it not only hurts future investors from considering you in future rounds, but it hurts founders. I like PG's equity equation to calculate the value of investors. I don'

This is definitely a neat question, especially as growth is sometimes hard to identify as it happens in front of you. I think there were a couple of really significant things that came about this year. 1. Gene editing in embryos 2. Orbital

Another way to approach it is to drop markers using a preprocessor after indentation. A group of friends and I were hacking on something similar and were trying to allow Lisp syntax sans parentheses. We created a preprocessor that would wra

I can totally agree - I've been on their Slack channel and it's nothing but friendly and welcoming. It's kind of like the MINASWAN (Matz is Nice And So We Are Nice) idea in Ruby, but since the Elixir community is even smaller

Oh perhaps I'm not being specific enough. Apologies mate. > If we know this at compile time, because L is a quoted list literal, we have the strongest possible information about what it is, even more precise than most type informati
