Why Janet? (2023) 2 months ago

Thank you for the lesson. Very productive of you and on point.

Now if you relaxed just a little bit - the world would be much nicer place.

But by allowing you to unquote literal functions, Janet makes it possible to write macros that are completely referentially transparent.

These lisp guys really get excited over very abstract things. If you say this to an average person on the street they will probably try to run away.

C is also a programming language. Unlike go it foes not depend on a big tech company for it to live. No need to reinvent the wheel. Just use wheel that does not come with a big techh bagagge.

I just unsubscribed using web form. There are some dark patterns involved but not too dark. E.g. first option is the chat with representative, second is the call by phone and third option is the web form. After I have navigated 3 pages using "default button" for canceling the unsubscription process - it is done. It's not the best experience, but not the nightmare the OP described.

Not only that. Siemens bribes people from the governments in third world countries to get the work from the government and totally destroys the local competition an the taxpayers.of those countries.

Bosnian here. I would never call spomeniks spomeniks in English. I would call them monuments and spomenik in Bosnian. Besides nostalgia that they cause in yugo nostalgic people - I don't see how they are special in any way

So if you use a distribution that requires you to set up everything yourself - you have to setup everything yourself ? No way ...

So now both of the people that use elixir can have slow request handling. :)

Well - I consider teaching non-technical skills even harder. That fact does not make teaching programming easy. Author is trying to solve problem of developer shortage. There is a huge gap between "being able to produce basic code" and being a developer that can solve a class of problems by him / herself.

I mentored few non-developers into becoming full time developers - but it took a year of their full time commitment to achieve the level where they could get hired as a developer and continue to develop their skills themselves.

Teaching people to develop software is hard. It requires commitment. In the framework author is describing if those people want to succeed they will not be able to do it part time while doing non-technical work for you.

Also rubber ducking with the actual developer takes a lot of developer's time (and it's hard) - so the organization will take a big productivity hit if developers work half time as programming teachers. This is not realistic. Basically - non technical people must work extra hours (not have a life) with people who work full time training them to succeed. And the programming camps do this - but most non technical people feel the effort is not worth it.
