@alexelcu and by all means I agree. In an ideal world, FOSS authors should receive a proper wage from all the companies that use their software, with no strings attached, really. But this is not an ideal world. As I said, it might be me, but the feeling that I got is that it's become an obsession for him: so much so that there hasn't been an update to Elm in 4 years. Which is a shame in its own merit, as his work is fantastic and I wish he wouldn't struggle with any financial worry

@alexelcu yes. This is why the Kotlin language to me still amounts to "better Java". And I don't mean it in a derogatory way

@alexelcu spot on - the most important thing I learned about debugging is to always list out what are the assumption your program (and especially its dependencies) are making. And they play software Cluedo ;-)

@alexelcu I wholeheartedly agree, but... is this an echo chamber?

@alexelcu feels inevitable to me: on here there's only a fraction of the people that are on other platforms, so if only statistically you're bound to get less of it

A proposal of a new paradigm for distributed computation that aims at overcoming the limitations of microservices.I'm wondering whether synchronising concurrent Db access of different versions of the application during subsequent rollouts can be handled through replicas that get spawned for the new version, while the existing ones get decommissioned along the older versionhttps://t.co/KIw1FvfvRp#microservices #distributedsystems #softwareengineering #softwarearchitecture

@alexelcu I feel this is a definition problem. I think you're totally right in stating that we should listen more to our guts (and, to be honest, to a well carried out risk/benefits analysis). I'm guilty of telling people to unlearn, because for me that's the quickest way to let them know that they have to unwire their brain, otherwise they'll keep seeing the same old solution to a problem solved in a new way (for loop vs. .map is the example that comes to mind)

@alexelcu Indeed. And the parallelism can help understanding the semantics of the operation. What I'm thinking of is more in terms of muscle memory. In my experience, when I was learning about polymorphic combinators I had to make a conscious effort not to start typing up `for (i = 0,. ...)`, which might seem a small thing, but I think is the first big hurdle that needs to be overcome when "unlearning to learn new stuff"

@alexelcu I've never found myself in the situation, tbf. I've always worked with people that had some background. I guess it might not be an easy concept to grasp without an idea of loops

Off the back of the conversation with @alexelcu, while looking for counter-examples of "unlearning is bad advice", I came across this visionary talk by @bret :https://vimeo.com/71278954

"The most dangerous thought that you can have as a creative person is to think that you know what you’re doing. Because once you think you know what you’re doing, you stop looking around for other ways of doing things."

@alexelcu hopefully we'll move away from "mutable by default" in the industry, one day.

@alexelcu as a Linux user (both desktop and server) for nearly 2 decades I can't agree more.

@alexelcu I really like your investigation on Rust, and yes IMO such languages lend themselves well to CLI utilities or applications that need to live closer to the operating system. Thanks for sharing!
