#Clojure teaches a great many principles of code quality and manageable system design; half the boot "Pragmatic Programmer" is already idiomatic. I love to use Clojure to learn other things. With shock I realize that WordPress is not this way; looks like it will teach bad habits of system design and code usage. #WordPress has many qualities, but "learning to do things the right way" is not one of them.

@peterdrake Thanks! That is useful.

Github down?

@csepp because wrapping tabular text becomes a mess; one cell changing the layout of the entire table. It's fine if that's what you want to read, but if it's just one of many data in the table, we have issues.

hahaha. Yeah, I bet the Linux share holders would love that! If I contribute to my distro, do I get a cut?

"can introduce naive people to IT". I am interested in arguments about whether this is actually a good thing or not (the fact that we are talking here on Mastodon might indicate our bias on this point)
