Pure functional stack. NixOS, Purescript, Haskell

I hate when people compare programming languages without understanding much, e.g. "Do they have semicolon or not?" "Lol there are lots of parentheses in Lisp". I even hear someone said "Haskell and PHP are alike because they both use the $ sign"

Come on, don't be that shallow, programming languages are much more then syntax and their logos. Learn more about their paradigms, ideologies, the reasons behind those designs.

PM: Snapchat's face detection is really good, how can we improve ours?
Me: Well they spend $150M buying a company for that face detection tech...

I started a project at high school 7 years ago, I had no idea what's clean code or design pattern, just learn while keep coding. I eventually stopped because my code is so terrible I cannot understand it anymore.

Now, after 1 year of working, I look back those dirty codes and think it is actually not that bad. Within hours I even fixed a bug with concurrency.

I start to think, instead of learning to how to write good code, maybe I should learn how to read bad code. That's just much more practical.

This is 2017.
A client wants the app to be compatible with iOS 7.

Have to say I enjoy being a minority, using a minor Linux distribution, with unpopular programming languages. The lack of documentations and tutorials means people have to think, they can't copy and paste whatever they saw, that is indeed a very high bar for human.

Intel's new CPUs are faster, so your text editor can be based on a slower version of chrome, with a even slower bloated JavaScript framework. Congratulations!

Write poetic codes, so beautiful that people find it guilty to touch it

OMG ever since I started to love Haskell, all nonfunctional languages look ugly, I am getting worse at writing procedural code!

Is there a verb to describe the behaviour of "Agree to whatever bullshit the manager comes up with, then secretly enjoy the world burning"?

Programming makes one more logical.

Except, when programming makes managers imagine they are more logical.

Boss: "JS, Java, Objective-C all have Class, so they have the same convention"

yeah both you and shit have weight

I told them I can do everything from front end, back end, to iOS and mac app, just not Android. I don't like Android. Now they are assigning Android tasks to me, I am working like shit and very unhappy.

Am I not professional or is this ok?

Help the A.I. to destroy humanity 🤔

Discussing with colleagues on implementation details.

*Boss opens the door*
"Hey I don't know the details but don't make unreasonable assumptions"
*Boss closes the door, walk away*

I hope people don't use container to workaround dependency issues. That's like buying a new computer because you don't know how to upgrade a tiny software. We should learn how to manage things properly, not wrapping shits up and pretend it is clean

"PR rejected because you didn't do localisation"
"Wait, is that a requirement?"
"Yes"
"But there is no localisation in any of the 10 repos in this project!"
"Yes"
"So how do I know if I am expected to..."
"You don't, until I reject your PR"

People in slack mentioning the entire channel when it's absolutely none of my business

The hostel wifi's captive portal has huge images and super slow JS, Kindle can't handle that. Welcome to 2017
