But if you weren't there, I highly recommend you wait for the video instead!

Internet bandwidth problems with Verizon Fios right now in nyc… who else is having issues with internet?

#Inheritance

Nepo babies: 🤩

Functional programmers: 🤬

[Jakub Kozłowski @kubukoz]

Statically typed functional programming is all fun and games, when it compiled it works and yadda yadda, yes

Until you work with a stateful external component that can simply refuse your request for an obscure technical reason (which should've been dealt with automatically).

[Mark Canlas @markcanlasnyc]

The best friend of automatic pull requests is automatic merging! Keep your repositories in tip top shape using an automated merging solution. It could be a third-party solution like #mergify or GitHub's built-in auto-merge functionality #scala #functionalprogramming #github

[Mark Canlas @markcanlasnyc]

Keep your Scala repo dependencies up-to-date using scala-steward! It can automatically create pull requests as libraries are updated. Especially great for enterprise environments #scala #functionalprogramming

[Mark Canlas @markcanlasnyc]

Scala 3.5.0 is coming soon! Be sure to upgrade wartremover and sbt-tpolecat to unblock the incoming upgrade! #scala #functionalprogramming

[Mark Canlas @markcanlasnyc]

I think it’s weird/telling that the #Crowdstrike update went out all at the same time. What about #canary deployments? What aspect of testing would have caught this? Was there testing?

[Mark Canlas @markcanlasnyc]

@guizmaii they are not equivalent. flatMap likely follows laws that mapFilter cannot. flatMap works on any FlatMap/Monad while mapFilter likely only works on collection/traversable types

[Rock the JVM @rockthejvm]

I rediscover this over and over again:

#Scala is that rare programming language that accelerates and clarifies your thinking.

[Mark Canlas @markcanlasnyc]

@kubukoz lol why did you cut me off? import precog.*

[Jakub Kozłowski @kubukoz]

StackOverflow's yearly survey is there, if you're using @scala_lang please don't forget to fill it in!

@alexelcu this guy scalas!

[Mark Canlas @markcanlasnyc]

It's funny that Scala's most powerful feature was named "implicits" yet the greatest strength in functional programming is to make things explicit! #scala #functionalprogramming

[Mark Canlas @markcanlasnyc]

Kicking off the week with a new release to sbt! Happy functional programming! #scala #functionalprogramming https://t.co/CpPf9nXvBT
