It's been a while since I shared some thoughts-on-programming; but here's a little thing to show some attention to the command-line utilities, and how to make them nice:

I ended up doing quite a bit of Scala and Spark recently and lambda/function serialization is one of the things that bit me often. I attempted to dig a bit more into what Scala is doing and figure out the "safe" patterns: https://t.co/Ettoi95Fqa

Wondering if I have any followers that work as graphic designs, ideally with a modern infographic style to help on a project. I'm keen to find an experienced designer, but I’d be open to hearing from graduates/hobbyists at this point. If anyone can intro anyone please let me know
