   I totally agree that FP in C# isn't super nice (its clear that it's bolted on) but to match the style of my co-workers, I can't do much more than sneak in a few little things here or there. The bulk of the code is clearly OOP

   I'm personally having a lot of fun learning Rust, which seems to have been largely inspired by OCaml. Algebraic data types and pattern matching are a revelation!

   Not trying to contradict you, but I think C# is special in than it has absorbed a lot of things from the academic functional programming world and presented them in a nice 'friendly' form for the masses; IE, LINQ; first class func

   1. Politely greet the people you pass by in the halls. 2. Practice small talk: -Ask others about their lives and thoughts and work. -Listen. Try to have at least one such interaction per day. This will be really hard at first, but it gets e

    >> consider buying "Programming Rust" by Blandy & Orendorff which is easily one of the best language books I ever read Agreed. Excellent book; very well paced and has a wonderful flowing narrative.

    In my opinion, Software development is a lot more than just being able to write code or make an app. It's about being able to write code that is readable and maintainable. It's about thinking a few steps ahead before you even lay

    Looking forward to seeing your results with making rust work on audio and a cross plat gui. I'm a rust noob but willing to try and help if possible since I want to make audio apps with a sane language like rust.

    I think Rich Hickey described it pretty well when he said (paraphrasing from [0]) that static languages present the programmer with neat little puzzles to solve that feels like we're writing applications but we're just creating

    The Three Body Problem Trilogy (officially named the Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy) by Cixin Liu goes into space elevators a good bit. The Three Body Problem sets up the technology involved, while the other books develop the su

    Looked at from another angle, these changes shift the nexus for innovation from manufacturing and process technology to architecture and design on the front end, and to post-manufacturing packaging on the back end

    Maybe management just feels that waterfall is more tractable and easier to control. I feel like a good scrum-master has to subside their ego a bit to let the programmers write and bid tasks without intervening.

    If you like Neal Stephenson, you'll like Cixin Liu (especially when translated by Ken Liu), but you'll have to give Liu a fresh chance and let his work be its own thing. I love NS's work, and I've really enjoyed Cixin Li
