A sufficiently thought out deployment of #sqlite is indistinguishable from “the usual prod databases”. - simplespuns 10th rule

There’s two kinds of developers: the ones who love #clojure and the ones that don’t know about it yet.

When you’re the last one unwilling to accept #rust as the lord and saviour

It seems people don’t know basic things about databases because they’re acidic?

The irony here, specially if you’re a #clojure programmer

This is what I am seeing across the market "Use AI to get more done, so the company can deliver faster with less added expense." And "Since its the AI tools delivering the increase in performance, no raises"

Given the current trajectory, a job in the tech industry may eventually require the use of generative AI tools, no different than being forced to learn and use a computer, email, or coffee maker if it's determined to maximize profits. Unfortunately, quality takes a back seat to profit.

Why was Redis not in the Epstein files? Because it runs in-memory.

Let's build a technology so powerful it can end civilization, but don't worry, we'll run it in a sandbox we vibe coded so it can't read your email.

I'm still writing code the hard way. I'm slow. I like to think critically about every line of code and fiddle with variable names until everything looks right. I treat code as a liability and try to ship only what's necessary. It's hard to imagine writing code any other way.

This is why you can't afford RAM anymore

It’s called ‘vs code’ because the code is an enemy you are fighting

They hate us so much but we love each other more

Climate, the little #golang lib that lets you bootstrap your CLIs with OpenAPI specs allowing spec-first practices and servers influencing CLIs, now supports urfave/cli alongside Cobra and some perf improvements too! Feedback welcome! github.com/lispyclouds/...

Being vegan in 2026: don’t use AI.

We all know Clarke's "sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" Well we have corollary:

Computers are Garbage In Garbage Out and Computer Science is to do that as efficiently as possible.

Technically a Caesar cipher is military-grade encryption. They don’t mention *which* military

People need at least nlog(n) steps to get to where I am, because my life is sorted.

MPs vote to decriminalise abortion in step forward for reproductive rights

talking about pointfree #clojure is pointless with your mom

If your programming language needs a “best practices” guide, it may not be the “best language” after all.

What did the #clojure program told the JVM when their eyes locked for the first time? Host me maybe?

Proof that all objects are #quantum

FRIDAY - MARCH 14, 2025 Mercury Goes into Retrograde This occurs three or four times per year. Just often enough to blame the planet instead of yourself when things go wrong in your life.

When the #clojure finally hits:

Very grateful today to all the women who shaped my life and perspectives. Happy #womensday to all! 🫡💪

There are no general purpose programming languages. If that was true all we needed was a tape and a read write head.

An abstraction that needs escape hatches isn’t flexible, it’s probably not useful.

They don't want to teach history so they can repeat it.

The #clojure REPL is truly the Mother Of All REPLs and I for one truly want MOAR of it!

Here is a write up that I did building @golang.org CLIs keeping OpenAPI and users at the centre: zuplo.com/blog/2025/02... Hopefully it’s helpful and thought provoking for others! #golang #openapi #swagger

New release of: github.com/lispyclouds/... This release adds: - Support for composite schemas like allOf and anyOf - Improved performance with reworked protocol based dispatch - More schema support like enums, byte arrays and binary schemas Happy routing! 😄 #clojure #reitit

Can #clojure devs design supermarkets too? Breaking the existing layouts of the same items is as bad as breaking and API for me!

That is the question

It’s so funny that GitHub has a sub-section in their Settings page called “Developer Settings” My dude these are all developer settings

With great simplicity, comes great responsibility.

Here is a full #golang CLI tool built using github.com/lispyclouds/... harnessing the power of bootstrapping off OpenAPI specs: github.com/bob-cd/wendy Feedback welcome! PS hoping to catch @kelseyhightower.com’s attention this time for some feedback too. It’s all inspired from his minimal ideas.

Basically everything worth a hill of beans uses HTTPS; that encrypts from your browser, all the way to the server side. Nothing in between (including, interestingly, your OS and its networking stack) can see the contents barring some MITM corporate nonsense. This is why public wifi is "safe."

Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume? Infrastructure Engineer: Ah yeah, someone deleted that from the console without using Terraform and the state cannot be reconciled anymore.
