Introducing two new open sources Clojure UI libraries by Factor House. HSX and RFX are drop-replacements for Reagent and Re-Frame, allowing us to migrate to React 19 while maintain…

We have been using Apache ECharts in our products[1] since 2020. Cannot recommend it enough - absolutely fantastic library, great documentation, zero issues of any impact to us in …

My co-founder uses the phrase minimal-viable-company for maximum-viable-product. We bootstrapped for 5 years to well over $1M+ ARR before recently closing a seed round[1], Clojure …

Congratulations on building something great! It is immensely satisfying to build something that you believe in and succeed in selling it. I founded my company in 2019 and my experi…

https://factorhouse.io/kpow/ An enterprise toolkit for Apache Kafka (and now another for Flink). I spent years working in large enterprise orgs, a few more working with distributed…

Question from an Australian(ish) here. If you Americans buy a house with an 8% mortgage today, can you remortgage in the future if/when the rate drops. Is the buy-out penalty of re…

Yes, sure is! https://kpow.io/ You can get started with the Community Edition for free, it includes our JQ implementation (we call it kJQ - https://docs.kpow.io/features/data-inspe…

This is great, JQ is brilliant. I love JQ so much we implemented a subset of JQ in Clojure so that our users could use it to munge/filter data in our product (JVM and browser based…

I run a bootstrapped software company, not at the $100M scale. My interest piqued I clicked, had a look at Aha! (having never heard of it before) and immediately thought - hey I co…

Hi @richieartoul, does warpstream support the standard Kafka Admin API? We build an admin console / dev tooling for Kafka ( https://kpow.io ) that supports Kafka 1.0+ including Red…

Two Daft Punk outfits with about 70m of EL wire coupled with arduinos plugged into LED arrays stuck inside bicycle helmets. Turned out pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=…

I started on the JVM in '97 at University. Damn I'm old. The company I founded uses full stack Clojure for our product development ( https://kpow.io ). We're a small team pushing t…

You just described the last decade of my career more succinctly than I could. Only extension being I applied the momentum boost to bootstrapping a startup and escaped the enterpris…

I have never felt like I am faking it, is that really strange?

I'm a co-founder of a company called Factor House[1]. We build a devtool called Kpow for Apache Kafka[2] and I guess you could say we rely on PLG. I can't say I had heard of the te…

“How did you go bankrupt?” Bill asked. “Two ways,” Mike said. “Gradually and then suddenly.”

I'm a founder and one of the point technical people for Kpow ( https://kpow.io ). We're a bootstrapped, self-funded, global business in a technical niche. Kpow is a toolkit for Apa…

We have modelled our company/product specifically on JetBrains. We're also bootstrapped, self-funded, etc. We build a tool for Apache Kafka ( https://kpow.io ), it's not a SaaS pro…

Write a lot of programs. If you learn quickly the rest will fall in to place. Don't pay too much attention to the constant flux of industry dogma, focus on working solutions. Stop …

> If we used interop for everything mundane, Clojure would really just be an S-expression shaped husk over Java code. Not a very good solution. Interop into the host system in Cloj…

This is my experience also (10+ years with Clojure). Macros extend the language. I don't need to do that often. I think I've written a dozen macros in ten years and deleted all but…

Kafka Streams is a core part of the open-source Apache Kafka project. You may be mistaking it for kSQL, or ksqlDB as they call it now, which is a Confluent project built on top of …
