RT @christophcsmith: Hardest part of SWE is when you get genuinely stuck for a while and rewrite your code a bunch of times, and then have….

RT @rockthejvm: A reminder that AI is not a higher abstraction, and plain English is not a programming language.

The thing that bothers me about modern software development is that you can't apply expertise. Deliberate practice doesn't work because we rely on frameworks and tools rather than thinking.

RT @onehappyfellow: I'm not a fan of the C programming language but I give credit where credits due:. The "tends towards" operator --> is a….

Yes, and your body can be used as the only weight.

RT @Hasen_Judi: Programming is a weird thing that doesn't really align with how most human brains work. If you understand the fundamentals….

Lisp having linked list as its only data structure might seem too limiting, to the point of being useless. But in fact it's just the AST to build your own data structures!.

If you use AI for coding you are missing the essence of programming: thinking. Thinking hard on the problem and finding the most precise solution. Abstract first, then specialize - not the other way around.

Why do I like PureScript so much?. I guess I like small things. That's why I'm also drawn to scheme. Also, why I now work on a PureScript to scheme compiler.

RT @IAmMarkManson:

This is why I don't use LLMs for coding.

RT @burkov: Apple did more for AI than anyone else: they proved through peer-reviewed publications that LLMs are just neural networks and,….

RT @Hasen_Judi: Hustler types really love the idea of you doing something without having to be good at it. I really hate it.

FP is really only about composition. Composition is what makes good abstraction. From this perspective we can apply functional design in non-functional languages: even if the implementation uses mutation internally it can still provide a compositional API for the user.

RT @usgraphics: Not a fan of "building in public" culture. You end up creating an average of all loud opinions, burn yourself to mediocrity….

RT @stylewarning: the problem with harping on "complexity" is that very few people in the biz can actually articulate a definition that isn….

I've been using NixOS on my home laptop for two years now. It has never failed on me. It is simply amazing. #nixos.
