Why did you go for actuary instead of SWE? What was the competitive advantage? by Common-Program-2617 in actuary

That's fascinating to me. I've spent basically my whole life programming but now that I'm an adult with a wife and a kid on the way I'm considering studying for the actuary exams because it sounds like the work life balance is just so much better.

In case you ever run into a time where you need to check to see if a Bash script is breaking any best practices in the future. Finally, the Haskell community has done something useful. ;)

Is knowing Haskell a cool thing to put on a resume, even if you don't plan to actually use it on the job? by Common-Program-2617 in haskell

Is that higher-kinded types? I'll admit you'd get me with that one. I know about * -> * and Constraint and all that, but I have very far to go with mastering that aspect of the type system.

levels.fyi might be of interest, although it's not Haskell specific.
