If someone plugs your laptop in without you having to get up, you should consider best friending them or marrying them.

[IN/Clojure @in_clojure]

At helpshift, the devs built a tool that spawns tasks per customer, and redistributes them on the fly to ensure even workload distribution.

Sounds neat, no? @mourjo_sen will be talking about it this Saturday. Be there!

I wrote a post on simulating the @passportsevamea using #Clojure. It was a joy using Clojure's #concurrency primitives. Do read and give me feedback! https://t.co/wiJuJ1HcSj

1) don't buy it

[Cory House @housecor]

Learn one thing at a time.

Example: People often try to learn React before learning modern JS. This leads to confusion, slows progress, and makes it harder to know what to search for when they get stuck or the abstraction leaks.

Learn the foundation before the abstraction.

@thescorpionping Dreams of PRD makers are realized/executed in Confluence.

Thus, when we describe a language, we should pay particular attention to the means that the language provides for combining simple ideas to form more complex ideas. #notesfromsicp

[Prasenjit Sharan @ps1_618]

A powerful programming language is more than just a means for instructing a computer to perform tasks. The language also serves as a framework within which we organize our ideas about processes. #notesfromsicp
