@li_haoyi You actually did it! This makes me so excited! This was the only thing missing from the lihaoyi ecosystem. I'm going to try it out right away.

@scala_lang Note: for much of America, the first problem comes out *tonight*
See you there!

Join us for a Good Time™

(not to undercut my fantastic recruiter, but I'm also generally open to regular dev roles right now, if anyone has a great match)

[Stewart Stewart @stewSqrd]

I'm interested in DevRel and Developer Advocate roles. Can anyone recommend resources or openings? I'm also happy to read opinions pro/con for moving into DevRel.

@ChiefScientist people say authenticity but i drop caps when i'm shitposting

[Stewart Stewart @stewSqrd]

@tikhonjelvis @ScaleByTheBay I love this sentiment, and I'll be looking forward to your talk!

[Stewart Stewart @stewSqrd]

@bpcs_tech @scaladays @optumdigital @DeltaLakeOSS Yay! Thank you very much! ☺

[Stewart Stewart @stewSqrd]

Oh hey that's me 😁

[Blueprint @bpcs_tech]

It looks like we have a 🎉WINNER🎉 for our Rubik's Cube challenge at @scaladays - Stewart Stewart from @Optumdigital. Fun fact: Steward travels with his own Rubik's cube so our @bpcs_tech & @DeltaLakeOSS branded Rubik's Cube will be a nice addition to his collection.

@djspiewak illuminati confirmed

[Stewart Stewart @stewSqrd]

@LongFormMath "QEMFD" when I get really excited about it

[Stewart Stewart @stewSqrd]

@hmemcpy Yeah, but I've seen some discover aysnc-await and say "I hate all these gigantic nested comprehensions of futures. That will make my life easier!" or "Wow, kotlin coroutines look nice!"

They don't need to know about CPS or monads to recognize intuitive control enabled by DC

[Stewart Stewart @stewSqrd]

@tomas_mikula Will be focusing on a library in particular for your examples?

[Stewart Stewart @stewSqrd]

@ChShersh @impurepics @graninas This but for "sieve of erastothenes"

The short, elegant version is actually pretty slow, and it's been repeated so often I can't get chatgpt to do the real thing.

[Stewart Stewart @stewSqrd]

@TetraspaceWest 17 is a beautiful number

[Stewart Stewart @stewSqrd]

@TomekGodzik @ckipp01 @scalameta Oh damn! That's so cool. Especially for sharing snippets with non-scala devs

[Stewart Stewart @stewSqrd]

@dggoldst Both apply to me, so people almost exclusively call me by my last name.

[Stewart Stewart @stewSqrd]

okay which joke should I make first

[Dan Goldstein @dggoldst]

I've noticed when people have last names that are common first names (or vice versa), other people often get it backwards.

I imagine this must cause administrative headaches and wonder what tactics people have come up with to prevent others from screwing up.

[Stewart Stewart @stewSqrd]

@scala_lang I've had a really great time with this community over the last month. Thanks for making the space!
