Yes, but this time it was a funny one. I laughed, and not just at AbstractSingletonProxyFactoryBean. Gotta be able to laugh at yourself sometimes.
Thanks for replying. I gave up on the beginning because those jokes tend to always be the same. (And to be fair, half of them are the same overused ones. But the others are good.)

This made me laugh way more than it should have. "Why don't you pattern match my fist all over your faces!"

Alright, maybe I will keep reading this book.

Hitler: What's a monad anyway? No one who understands monads can explain what they are
Underling (hurriedly): A monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors

OMG. That might just be the funniest god-damned thing I've ever seen in my life. Thanks for sharing that!
On a separate note: does anyone know where this footage is originally from? Some WWII movie, I would guess?

#37Earlier quoted context omitted.
At a meta level, Category Theory requires some comfort with abstraction, which really only comes with a mathematical education. So while it may stand apart from much math, it relies on your strong mathematical foundations.
As so many undergraduate math textbooks say, "No background is assumed beyond sufficient mathematical maturity."

#38In my experience, Monad, Applicable, and Monoid are probably the only ones I'd use in Haskell, and maybe none of them in languages without good inference and general support. Pretty wild ideas, though. Fair chance they'd be more confusing than using more specifically named instances, but solid ideas where the class instance documents that you're using the pattern, instead of describing the preferred interface.
