What’s the secret? I have used ajax uploads and interactions in Clojure forever; it’s a bread-and-butter skill to use AJAX and JSON1. However, my WordPress usage led me to believe it would be equally trivial to handle file uploads. It turned out to be less trivial than I expected, though. In summary, the secrets I needed were: Make sure the encType on the client is "multipart/form-data", which happens differently with AJAX than with plain HTML

This first part is a recap about nREPL, nREPL middleware, and some of the issues and challenges they pose. We’ll break up the problem and look at solutions in part 2. The REPL...

YASSS, MY MAN! This is one for the history books, my friends. I got to chat with one of my favorite clojureverse role models of all time: Eric Normand!!   We hear about his new book titled "Grokking Simplicity" published by Manning (discount codes below!!).  We hear a little about his life and personal history in regards to how he got into creating instructional content (peace core? COOL!)  He shares his thoughts illustrating key concepts that will help you to be a wise architect while planning out and developing a software project. Questions regarding asynchronous logic, mutable data (don't be scared my peeps)  We discuss how to uncover the "universal truths" in your code base so you can write better code.   We get to the bottom of the meaning of "domain driven development" and how to compares it to a more data oriented approach.  Personally, I credit his instructional work with the basis of my entry into the clojureverse, and I know I'm not the only one.  ENJOY!

“Do you use #Java ? Stop. 🛑 If you are a real developer, you need to be developing with #Clojure Clojure holds you accountable to the hammock time model. Java does not. Java is a delusion. 🔮 Clj is reality. Have a great day. 🤩 /s (kinda)”

As a leader in an organisation, thinking of teams as a single concrete entity leads to cognitive biases and blind spots that can prevent us choosing options that get the results we and the people in our teams would like to achieve
