For those of you at my @LambdaDays talk on #adhd, I'm aware the link on my final slide to the references was long and hand written. So here it is again :) https://t.co/6XSk7TCW81

[Michael Newton @mavnn]

So in about 2 hours (14:00 CEST) #sycl will be streaming me on being a professional developer with #adhd , and how that's influenced my preferences in programming styles.

You can even heckle/ask questions) via the Twitch chat during and after the talk. https://t.co/x8uHbaFKgL

[Michael Newton @mavnn]

Live stream here at "Software You Can Love" about to kick off. I'm not on until tomorrow, but lots of good talks happening today as well! https://t.co/x8uHbaFKgL

Episode 91: Comparing @fsharporg, @elmlang, and @HaskellOrg with @mavnn! 🎉

Well, will you look at that. It's a blog post in which I start making a web app look smart and be user friendly with a combination of server side HTML generation in #fsharp and #htmx . Get it while it's hot at https://t.co/BlcKbZ6AAt

Hey #fsharp🦔 folks, we've been at it for over a year, pushing boundaries and making things happen🤘. Reality check: cool stuff costs money. So, we’ve set up our open collective here: https://t.co/j33CfKH9W9. Your support can really make a difference🚀

[Michael Newton @mavnn]

Oops. Left off an #fsharp tag :D. Anyway, the tweet above is about a round of improvements on an F# code base.

[Michael Newton @mavnn]

The internal quality of a code base is the properties of that make it "easier for humans changing the codebase correctly".

Showing that process is one reason I wanted to write a journal, rather than a series dissecting an existing code base. Let's do it: https://t.co/upcrejRrqm

[Michael Newton @mavnn]

Also, I am currently the world's only expert in the "julienned domain sandwich" architecture style, so you should probably hire me to help you implement it in your project.

[Michael Newton @mavnn]

We've arrived! An example of #eventSourced user management in #fsharp using #marten awaits you in the newest post in my dev journal series: https://t.co/PrQDWwX9Cc

A website that users can sign up for and log in to. Exciting stuff.

[Michael Newton @mavnn]

The latest PR to CalDance adds logging in/out of the website with event sourced user data stored in #postgres via #marten

Today is about hooking up all the machinery and making sure the dev UX stays nice: next week, we talk event sourcing. https://t.co/RocRQicQ5M #fsharp

[Michael Newton @mavnn]

If you know me at all, it probably won't surprise you I have _opinions_ about #adhd and about programming techniques. #tdd is one of the techniques I have opinions about.

[Michael Newton @mavnn]

I'm currently available for short term consulting work. Things I can do for you range from architecture & technology strategy through online training workshops for developers and into just paying me to write good code™. All the details at https://t.co/YzEGNT4JcL #fsharp #dotnet

[Michael Newton @mavnn]

Time for dev journal post 3: adding a simple end to end test to our project that uses the actual #fsharp webserver container that will be deployed so that we discover bugs before our users. Or our blog readers, for that matter!

[Michael Newton @mavnn]

If you're interested in #FunctionalProgramming, #typescript, or both - please share. I think the techniques in this post can really make writing TS a lot more enjoyable, and the results more reliable.

[Michael Newton @mavnn]

I may have got a bit carried away writing a blog post presenting both a really practical way with a nice developer experience of handling asynchronous operations that might fail in #typescript... and a "write your own monad in TypeScript" tutorial.

[Michael Newton @mavnn]

Ah, yes - I'm speaking at Lambda Days in May & they've made me a snazzy banner.

If you're interested in "Types and other techniques as an accessibility tool for the #adhd brain" (or other #FunctionalProgramming related stuff), early bird tickets are out

Dev journals 2: Today we use #nix to make sure the project gives everyone the same version of the Fantomas.

Then we use it to capture the dependencies between our code and an #fsharp test project, so that CI run the tests while building the docker image.
