This is a heavy story about a brilliant Scala developer who put his life into his work. 💔 After many health and personal problems, he open-sourced his project for everyone. Let's help him find a new job or support his work! 🙏 #scala

I've been working/vibing on integrating scala-cli and Nix together, with granular dependencies (and not just a single non-cacheable blob of jars). So far the results are promising, and with some upstream changes it can only get better.

@kubukoz@matej_cerny I've never used it but they have a free (I think) phone app that emulates a stream deck. Also controlling Spotify via HTTP API is easier.
Scala 3 introduces a lot of new tuple operations, some of which feel almost magical. Look at the apply method, which can resolve out-of-bounds error at compile time, or the head method, which returns an Int instead of an Option[Int]. #scala3
I am looking for a new contract as a Backend Engineer starting October 1st.
I have 10+ years of experience building scalable and robust systems. DM open.
Debunking Common Scala Myths
1. Hiring Challenge? Nope!
This year, I interviewed companies building massive Scala teams (100s strong!):
SwissBorg & SiriusXM with Typelevel Scala
Databricks & Netflix for data engineering
2. Expensive Devs? Not True!
As a recruiter (3+ years at @ScalaJobsDev ), I've seen companies find Scala devs COST-EFFECTIVE. Their strong skills (compared to Java/Kotlin) lead to faster hiring and less interview time!
3. Stability Concerns? Unfounded!
Scala 2.13 (released 5 years ago) is actively maintained.
Scala 3 applications can leverage 2.13 libraries (Scala 3 uses the 2.13 standard library!).
Even popular libraries like Typelvel Cats maintain backward compatibility (newest version works with the 2017 release!)
Love Scala? Considering it?
I've been working & hiring in Scala for 10+ years. Reach out for advice!
