Screenshot of a web-based object navigator targetting the JVM management interface, to reflect out the process classpath and navigate into the contents of an uberjar. This application is defined in about 200 lines of Clojure (.clj) for the java reflection (for some simple parsing and weaving together of a set of queries that relate but were not intentionally built to relate), and absolutely no frontend code. The navigator UI is fully abstracted away by a saas, the UI is not in the same process as the JVM being interrogated, it is remote. They talk via a reverse websocket with the Electric wire protocol.

if i were an older developer (like age 60) trying to figure out how to stay employed i would rebrand myself as a test/ci engineer. Nobody wants to do it, but its mission critical, high impact, portable across companies, legible and easy to explain, and not going away this decade
@slimjimmy i vote libertarian because the bigger an institution gets the less effective it becomes, also war is bad, let's stop wrecking other countries
@augustiner_h i think it’s because engineers are not the customer they are the product. recruiter lady bozos are the user and HR lady bozo is the customer. So the product decoheres, taking a whole industry out with Conway’s law
@seancorfield @rplevy Core.async imo is an abstraction ceiling. Dataflow flavored async is referentially transparent which means you can abstract over it while retaining composition. E.g. here is an incremental sublisp, fully async, that abstracts client/server netcode. d/q + html in same AST!
yes this, i would emphasize that you need more than one super connector angel, though one is a good start, you need a half dozen, how many did you have to generate the 60 meetings? the trouble is generating them all at once for deal heat, a fan out rolling approach can generate 60 meetings slowly over 3 months but that is not how rounds close. You almost need to have a flubbed round under your belt (i have one) that generates the network to find your key angels, which primes the next round for success
To be a frontier founder is to constantly question if you wasted the prime of your life while simultaneously being unable to stop because if your hypothesis is true it will usher civilization into a new economic era
@jdegoes classic programming tools (pre cloud) is a good answer, my answers were classic excel and word, visual studio .net classic, iphone classic and macos classic which all fit the same category. And perhaps the only answer?
