That's great! There's nothing wrong with that! But what you're saying is NOT what the person I was responding to was saying, 'nor was it what I was responding to. I don't know if y…

This is a very narrow view of the situation. There are any number of reasons why some people may prefer working from an office. Take myself as an example. I live alone, in a small …

It's really sad, but yes, this is what I ultimately ended up doing too. There was no way to configure the filters to very closely approximate what the feed was showing previously t…

Hello! First time posting in one of these threads. I suspect it'll just get lost in here, but who knows! I'm a developer who has been writing code professionally for ~18 years, but…

Yup. It's absolutely crazy to me to see the amount of people who are apparently doing hiring telling others here in the comments (and elsewhere on HN, etc) that they should "grind …

While that is obviously a detractor that I would agree with, how much it affects you will vary from person to person. Again, just myself as an example, I've been somewhat surprised…

> I don't see any rational argument for a Model M in 2023. There are so many options in keyboards that are more modern, quiet, well built, compact and yet feel nicer to type on. Th…

> I've never had a test come later. 15 minute interview call to make sure the high level details are correct (pay, location, physical office vs. Remote, etc), and then I am sent an…

I don't think that's a "different opinion" at all! :-) I look at it the same way basically.

See, I take a bit of a different view in the example you've given. Like, if I got rejected because I seemed "too excited about my personal side projects" I'd come away from that th…

I mean I agree with you on this, but the idea that you can gauge a person's skillset through conversation ( gasp !) and talking about your craft and details about past projects, et…

It's been surprising to me to read through the comments posted here and seeing how most people seem to really despise take-home assignments during the interview process. Speaking a…

Isn't that what "Twitch Turbo" is?

Yeah the (what I personally call it) "choose your own adventure" style approach to Clojure projects, where you don't use a framework like Rails, but just string together your own p…

That's an interesting point I'd not thought of. I guess I'm more looking at it through the lens of "interacting with and modifying a running system" which kinda gives you a debugge…

This is my experience exactly. I love the language and ecosystem in a lot of ways. I also believe that REPL-driven-development is a ridiculously productive way to work. But I absol…

Very cool! Just tried this out for fun on my 486DX2 PC ( https://i.imgur.com/NOeR1Ad.jpg ). It boots, but obviously the minimal kernel only has included support for a small set of …

This is a really important point. I work with someone who has quite a bit of an ego. Definitely cares far too much about his personal brand, which has been built up over the years …

I'm not sure why you're contrasting Clojure and Java, but nowhere was I recommending using Java over Clojure (nor would I ever offer such a recommendation). Certainly there are muc…

I think you've really summed it up well here. I have exactly the same concerns when looking at large Clojure codebases. It gets incredibly tiresome having to do this and even at th…

I can't say I've personally seen any evidence of "mass migrations" of this sort. However, I can personally say that after 5 years of working with Clojure and with several large Clo…

> Luminus looked good but seems to be shunned by the community. Can I ask what left you with that impression? I've no idea if this is true or not as I don't participate much in the…

It's interesting to hear from someone else who also finds that Clojure/Lisp code can be difficult to read. I worked with Clojure professionally for 2 years and had started to think…

It could be edited yes, but I'd assume once you change some Python code and recompile you'd lose your assembly tweaks. Not the end of the world I guess, but annoying if you're real…

"Hackintosh" and "Laptop" don't go well together. Regardless of the type of laptop. A certain model HP laptop is a small exception, but it's not 100% perfect. From my own personal …
