More mindset shifts I had for pure functional programming (FP): -Using recursion instead loops -Modelling a state machine without "state" In FP you can model a state machine by using recursion, lexical bindings, higher-order functions #Clojure example, but could be haskell👇

Go Google your name. If you're not the top result, you have work to do. Especially if you're giving conference talks or whatever.

Indie hacking used to be the software craftspeople escaping agile feudalism to build a better life Now we have AI slop making tons of peoples’ livelihoods vulnerable to brown hat hacking escapades

I was a virgin, an hour ago. I've never blocked anyone after 3 years on Twitter. But my feed in the past 30 days is made of developers who think the world can be fixed with more tests. Dozens of people try to screw my sites every day. And they claim a CRITICAL VULNERABILITY

Soon, devs will be wise to the oppression of the ‘copilot pause’ Any product that helps devs write less code is doomed to fail because devs like writing code Same with no-code tools, these products largely appeal to those who don’t code Protect your flow state ✊

Being a women in tech is: -Documenting rationale behind your decisions -Needlessly defending those decisions because colleagues didn't read that original rationale - Being called defensive when inevitable frustration ensues im tired.
