I spend noticeably less time on youtube than I used to because they keep shoving shorts in my face. I'm a premium subscriber, I click "fewer shorts," nothing changes. Maybe I should be thankful?

I was about to give up on a career in software development when I found Clojure in 2007. Rich, I'll always be grateful to you for creating a language and community that got to the root of so many problems our industry still faces today
