Ever wanted to turbo boost your #Clojure exp and get to know the big players? This is for you https://twitter.com/RobStuttaford/status/1504702185287958549

This! It's also super hard (impossible) for noobs to do it right and safe (enough). https://twitter.com/lisperati/status/1504466581857918981
Seems like fuzz testing = generative testing, which just made it to #Go 's huge update list, but has been in #Clojure since Spec in 2017? https://www.zdnet.com/article/programming-languages-go-just-received-its-biggest-update-ever/

I regularly rewatch @richhickey 's talks.
Two evergreen ones that don't need knowledge of #clojure (or, indeed, of any programming at all) are:
- Simple vs Easy
- Hammock Driven Development

It's back, under slightly different name from ClojureScript Podcast to ClojureStream Podcast. The same RSS feed and the same format.
Thanks for tunning-in 📻

I couldn't find a true cross-platform html->hiccup #Clojure function, so I made one.
It takes less than 40 lines of code using Instaparse.
Iterator invalidation as a purportedly large error class avoided by immutable code. But it has never happened around me (though I've been immutable for most of my career). In what domains does iterator invalidation occur?
Excellent discussion of WordPress pitfalls and why one dev chose #Clojure. In short, getting targeted and breaking updates all over the place.

@Endless_WebDev Also, I don't think it's about avoiding 'policy code' so much as consciously choosing which you want, and working towards having it, as suits your team.
Cognitive load cuts both ways, you have to find your own balance.
Tug of war: too much boilerplate / too many abstractions
Excellent indeed. But how to use it? Policy code is where the huge number of exceptions-to-the-rule live, but can't be avoided in real context

Can confirm; next month marks the beginning of our second _decade_ with our #Clojure codebase 😱
(Yes, we still run code today that was written in April 2012)
It definitely does get better! But you have to work at it... https://twitter.com/mikehogan_/status/1502247811001290757
I grew up hearing about the legendary "bad hair day" that was a terminally serious ordeal for the big-hair girls of the 80s and early 90s. I am having my equivalent today: "bad tech day." Chargers aren't working as expected, I can't get mobile data to work on Verizon, and I couldn't even get the radio to turn on in the car for a while. It's one of those days...
Wait... am I doing this right? I'll just go back to RPN and lisp...

Thanks for the help on order of operations, geeks. Here's a handy guide I made that may help you

And it’s built on #clojure :) https://twitter.com/TechCrunch/status/1501483882922889217
I learned that HDMI cables require more power than VGA cables. Today I learned that some USBC cables can throughput less power than others; phones cords typically max out at 18w, while my dock really wants 100w. My friends, I would much rather stick to trying to debug my project's transitive dependency version conflicts. I hate hardware.

@souldessin to be clear, it wasn't the :hover selector that broke. It was the webdev tool "make it hovered" that worked in FireFox but not the same in Chrome
