A serious note on #FollowFriday, heavily inspired by @researchfairy toots today, is that your list of X Type of Person can also be Y person's hitlist for harassment campaigns. Much better to discover people more organically or through themselves and their own hashtags unless the person you're intending to Follow Friday has given their consent to be on an additional-exposure list. 1/2

So happy to see this. I was just about to post how much I enjoy RSS whenever possible, and here we are! rsapkf.org/weblog/q2z

Don't confuse Web3 (invented by Ethereum?) with Web3.0. About freedom of data access and sharing, not blockchain.

@Endless_WebDev Close? Nah. I don't ever close Emacs. And I would never ever quit Emacs. When Emacs misbehaves I kill the shit out of it with kill-emacs command. Yeaaah, I kill it soooo good, even kernel starts panicking.

For those who don't know the tech industry, here's a rundown on the impact the #twitter layoffs will have:

It's going to cause an avalanche mass-exodus that will all but wipe out the company. Companies fear this kind of thing, believe me, and I've seen it happen with far less cause.

The top talent, principal and distinguished staff will have started looking, probably fairly publicly, back when Musk first made the bid. The senior staff will have certainly caught on and followed suit.

Moving to Mastodon? Did you know that you can also run a huge Rails app like that on @graalvm's high-performance Ruby implementation @TruffleRuby?

Wanna install the Clojure CLI as a binary clj.exe (no Powershell module) on Windows using an MSI installer?

I tweet very seldom lately but today there is a good reason to tweet - I've been promoted to Principal engineer at @gitlab! Super happy to be the first frontend dev reaching this level in the company and looking forward for working on more challenging tasks!

VSCode Cursive seems to roll with the "one repl window to rule them all" approach on full-stack projects, with changes by context. I've seen recent Cider has that option, too, but I much prefer having separate buffers for my CLJ and CLJS repls. Who prefers the unitary version and why?

@veer66 I wrote that predicate; it isn't in core. It works by ducktyping in a try-catch: attempt to (deref) the thing or catch error and false. I hate relying on try-catch like that, and ducktyping is not robust.

Anyone know a better way than ducktyping for a CLJC way of writing a predicate `atom?` They are different types in CLJS (cljs.core/Atom) vs CLJ (clojure.lang.atom).

Whoa. Mastodon (qoto) has circles now? I loved Google Plus, and know those are now in Twitter, too. Are they basically persistent chatrooms?

@winenous Oh, it's been around since before "software engineering" became a thing. But logging is not something taught in beginner courses or undergrad CS courses. It is far from "hello world". It is like an extra-curricular topic.

@borkdude Hey! You're on Mastodon now! Welcome! Also, hooray for Cherry. How is it with the main tooling (hotloading, reagent, etc)?

I'm conflicted over whether PHP being "very much alive" is a bad thing :) Unlike Clojure, it is inarguably badly designed. But by sheer inertia it has has exceeded its design and actually works well
