I think this is an interesting idea but the non tech parts need fleshing out a bit if only to fire the imagination The way the title sounds is that they got fired, then they created a new CEO and continued as normal In reality payroll would

A lot of the poor and middle classes don't understand how a billionaire earning millions of pounds per week in passive income is any problem for them - or where it comes from 1, billion, 2 billion, 100 billion individuals makes no diff

I can't use new reddit - old reddit lets me disable infinite scroll I think all major platforms should have an option to disable infinite scroll Otherwise I look up and its 3 hours later

As a profession we need to phase out point in time debuggers and replace them with reverse debuggers or "time travel" debuggers

I think there's a lot of interesting things to the side of development that don't get the resources they deserve Debuggers, testing techniques, testing layers Essentially things that could be used to ground your ai back to reality

defaults are a different thing to nil punning So nil will have had special consideration in Clojure core functions That doesn't mean it doesn't crash either it will absolutely be unhappy with nils in your math nil is usually unexp

Well it is possible - you can add a user macro that calls into clj-kondo (or anything actually) to check your codebase on compile It just doesn't make much sense to do - most modern developers will be running static analysers through L

This is a case I never really thought about - if the key is missing today you'll get nil as the value and since Clojure is a nil punning language it usually does sensible behaviour in your program I know this sounds unreliable but in p

I wouldn't be surprised if it's the glyphosate We need to get back to regenerative farming that already has time proven solutions for weeds (ok maybe not the same yield straight away but at least its sustainable) If your soil is j

Yes though they're trying to be effectively the same lisp I do love that I learnt Clojure once like 5-7 years ago and more and more dialects keep expanding the choice of runtime I can target

I would assume it's important to know what's in that training set too Because I get reliable generation out of "niche" languages already Is it code with lots of SQL injections used in a different domain to your own? It&#

Personally I moved from typed functional languages to Clojurescript and then Clojure around 10 years ago Most serious Clojure code bases I'm aware of invest heavily in their test suite so yes you can just add a skill to your AI that te

This is important for JavaScript interop without having to include additional libraries very cool and was missing for a long time Congratulations on the release :-)

Clojure core has always been highly protected, stable and curated The downside of that is it's slow and difficult to get changes in Instead of talking about throwing money to get the contributors to fix what you want it would be better

Yeah I see this at work - people are sceptical that AI + Clojure even works but in my experience its amazing the overall quality of Clojure code in the wild tends to be higher than your typical language so AI's training on Clojure tend

Looking back Clojure has been the best thing to happen to me in this industry I doubled my salary using it and changed industries to much more stable industries I've been to a lot of conferences and meet ups in my career but the feelin

As someone who loves the clojure repl I do somewhat agree with debuggers are better If it was like a choice, Clojure has my favourite reverse debugger flowstorm which also exposes the runtime information of your program programmatically So

There are people out there afraid to learn or change and are keen to blame and keep things the same to protect themselves You can listen to their thought process by asking them if they got their way politically for 15 years what would be be

I am going to continue eating meat and plants but that's because the choice between eating plants or meat misses the point The issue here is the industrialisation of the land and the shortcuts that farmers are doing that essentially ki

Yeah sorta I would say Clojure is a big exception to that - Clojure applications tend to be more uniform than even non lisps

Plenty of ways to define complex data shapes in Clojure Spec is definitely underrated here considering it's built into the language and has a wider scope but for most people they want the intellisense experience which you can get with
