    I think would find it super interesting too. I'm seriously excited about it. More language/runtime/systems people working on problems not considered language problems, please :)

    Like React, it uses JavaScript as an imperative DSL for defining an functional description to be diffed. Instead of a DOM tree description, it's a cloud resource graph. The other crazy bit is how it can even deploy lexical closures. Does Datomic Ions do that or just vars?

    Hey , If you're at all involved with 's devops & Ions stuff, you really should look at - React : Rendering :: Pulumi : Provisioning. It's the first time I've ever enjoyed devops. /cc who I know cares about environment reproducibility.

    Class-based modeling breaks down in even the simplest and most common data representation cases. For example, what is a "Month"? Importantly: Does it include a "Year"?

    One of my favorite train activities is asking “Excuse me, could you please put your suitcase under the seat so I can sit?” After they do it, I offer the newly available seat to an elderly person. It’s the most reliable way to turn an annoying asshole in to a brooding asshole.

    Starting a new job reminds me just how much I hate form-filling. I hate it especially when forms are (1) redundant, (2) logically incoherent, (3) embodying a model that does not match [my] reality, and (4) longer than last year's forms. CS spin: why aren't computers more help?

    Oh hey, our rate went up again without any advance notice. Availability of gigabit from somebody other than those criminals will be a primary buying factor in our next home. Municipal internet can’t come fast enough.

    There’s all these things we learn are “yuck”. Don’t do them on the first day. But sometimes it’s irresponsible *not* to do them — when the alternative is a lot of extra complexity or not moving forward.

    I'm starting to think that "worse is better" is only true because better requires a greater number of design decisions and people are simply bad at designing things. An unconsidered design decision is worse than avoiding the design challenge.

    I can’t believe calendaring software still doesn’t just display “Lunch” as “Lunch (Them)” automatically for one-on-one meetings.

    When sending Meeting Requests: DON'T: * Them Lunch * Meeting with Them * Them Coming By For A Chat About Things DO: * You <> Them Lunch * You <> Them Meeting * You <> Them Chat About Things This keeps the other person's calendar from being filled with "Lunch with Yourself"

    Pretty much every single day, I am stunned at how inconsiderate people are on various forms of transit, or just generally in public. It’s really not that hard to not be a jerk.

    code-as-infrastructure would be dramatically easier if cloud management consoles were even half as well designed as VBA & Office macro recording -- a low bar!
