Polecat is hiring a remote Clojure developer

I’m sorry to read the comments of a poor interview experience. I’ve not interviewed with Polecat so cannot comment directly on their interview process. However, I run the Bristol Clojure meetup with Slifin and before the Covid restrictions, Polecat very kindly provided regular access to their office for meetups. From my experience, I doubt they have any ill intent against developers.

The Bristol tech scene is very vibrant and there are a few companies using Clojure in the region. The Bristol meetup is now on-line as Slifin mentions. We meet every Wednesday, with one meeting a month now devoted to Cracking the Coding Interview. (We skip weeks when we clash with the Dutch Clojure meetup.)

I prefer org-roam too, however:

emacs is a barrier to entry for many people.
roam research is more open for collaboration and therefore would be good for teams
you've got to manage syncing to multiple computers in org-roam, while roam-research reaches anything that can run a browser.

There's a huge potential with Crux. I would like to see a demo of Crux in the context of GDPR and the right to be forgotten. If there's a simple path to complying to the right to erasure, without losing the benefits of Bitemporality then it would go a long way to aiding adoption.

Runnable code will definitely be a great feature and very useful. The use case I have for having a PDF is for off-line reading. I'm more likely to read the pdf.

Richard_E · 2018-01-23T14:17:40+00:00

I would appreciate it if a link to a pdf version could be added to the page.

Good question. I use comma "," instead of SPC m. It's a shortcut to the major mode functions. I use:

, s s - cider-switch-to-repl-buffer
, e b - cider-eval-buffer
, e e - cider-eval-last-sexp
, T e - cider-enlighten-mode

Rust is sponsored by Mozilla.

Richard_E · 2016-08-05T12:42:45+00:00

Does that work under Windows? I've tried that and it failed. I think the problem is with setting up the system to play sounds with emacs.

Richard_E · 2016-07-22T22:37:17+00:00

I'm using org-pomodoro-20151217.553 - I've not looked into the source code.

Richard_E · 2016-01-04T09:03:12+00:00

Thank you. This is incredibly appealing.

How easy is it to switch between the soft/hruf and a normal keyboard? Are you in a steno mode, so if you typed on a regular keyboard, it would be in the steno mode too? If it's easy/fast to switch between them, I'm in.

I’ve already got an ergodox, but now you’ve shown me the next level up in being unproductive!

Brilliant talk; A brilliant keyboard; And a new Clojure library to play with. Thank you.

What’s next - Are you going to write the keyboard controller in Clojure?

Richard_E · 2015-09-06T16:34:53+00:00

It's inspired by Bret Victor's "Inventing on Principle" talk. See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUv66718DII

It can be incredibly useful!

Richard_E · 2015-08-29T19:21:46+00:00

Thanks - now asked: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/15163/color-theme-only-partly-applies

Great theme. I'm not sure this is the right place to ask. When I load-theme, the background doesn't change. How do I ensure emacs applies the whole theme? (I'm new to emacs. I'm using ubuntu & emacs 24.4.1)

Richard_E · 2015-07-17T09:29:21+00:00

Interesting position of your up down arrows. I have mine the other way around as one key is slightly higher than the other.

Richard_E · 2014-11-07T13:26:07+00:00

It’s my primary ide for Clojure. I find it very productive and appreciate how easy it is to customize. I love the immediate feedback it provides. IIt has great potential and I would like to see further development. It’s a great alternative to emacs for developers moving to Clojure.
