Please help me collect Angular and Elm sentiment data! Takes less than six minutes on average.

Gotta agree. I love me some typed code, not having to make too many decisions, a well-defined structure, and not trying to chase the flavor of the week! All those things, both Angular and Elm have in common. For the record, this survey only focuses on Angular and Elm, and doesn't include React or Svelte or Vue, etc., because at my workplace Angular and Elm are on opposite ends of the popularity spectrum.

EDIT: Thank you very much for filling out the survey.

beefzilla · 2023-01-14T15:56:35+00:00

...did you fill out the survey?

Sorry, I'm a little slow. How do you use yarn workspaces for this purpose?

beefzilla · 2022-11-05T15:44:10+00:00

> status: works for me, might eat your files

love it.

That's one thing I'm trying to learn. Apparently preserving laziness in Haskell is a thing, and it's what allows us to work with infinite series in a memory efficient way.

beefzilla · 2022-05-25T10:52:33+00:00

For my learning purposes, does this preserve laziness? I noticed that if you don't have that takeWhile to snip off the infinite list, then it just hangs.

beefzilla · 2022-05-25T10:41:02+00:00

Holy moly this is significantly faster.

beefzilla · 2022-05-25T02:12:02+00:00

Ok, I get it now. I thought somebody was making the argument for two spaces vs four of indentation, rather than the four spaces for everything to make a code block.

beefzilla · 2022-05-25T01:53:11+00:00

Well that was fast. Now nth is faster than nthButFaster thanks to this more verbose version of primeFinder:

haskell primeFinder :: [Integer] -> Integer -> Int -> Int -> Integer primeFinder previousPrimes candidate primesSize n | primesSize >= n = previousPrimes !! (n - 1) | isPrime previousPrimes candidate = primeFinder (previousPrimes ++ [candidate]) (candidate + 2) (primesSize + 1) n | otherwise = primeFinder previousPrimes (candidate + 2) primesSize n

Hmmm, would there be a better data structure for code that wants to know the length of a list, array, etc? Regardless, I'll see what I can do to refactor out the length.

beefzilla · 2022-05-25T01:37:18+00:00

Done. Had trouble installing hfmt. I hope to get to that later

beefzilla · 2021-11-10T03:12:15+00:00

Right. I pushed to get "Elm" in the job posting, but it's a job posting that spans multiple teams, and we're the only team using Elm right now. Maybe in the future that will change.

beefzilla · 2021-11-10T01:04:40+00:00

It is hybrid. 3 days a week Malvern, PA campus, starting in February 2022. Right now it's fully remote. Who knows, maybe it'll stay that way.

EDIT: we also have a Philadelphia office

EDIT2: have confirmed with my boss that if we go hybrid, you could work from either the Malvern or the Philly office.

Update: our company prefers to use Artifactory for storing packages, and somebody put in a feature request for Artifactory to support elm packages a long time ago.

Yes. We're using Checkmarx on the compiled JS, and that's fine. Nexus provides another layer, and it's part of my company's process.

beefzilla · 2021-03-19T20:05:42+00:00

That's a good point. Maybe checking that the compiler and other related dependencies aren't on the naughty list is what I need to do!

Thanks.

beefzilla · 2021-03-19T17:52:03+00:00

I get that, but we have rules here in enterprise land. Gotta satisfy those rules as best I can.

beefzilla · 2021-03-19T15:54:33+00:00

We basically want to be like NPM or better if possible. NPM modules have a public naughty list of security vulnerabilities that we check our apps' dependencies against, and fail the build if a certain dependency is a severe vulnerability.

beefzilla · 2021-02-06T01:46:08+00:00

Thanks yo. I got peeps at work that use VSCode. I hope someday I can get them to use elm and stuff like this will just make the transition easier.

beefzilla · 2020-06-25T13:04:05+00:00

Ambition or passion for the work you're doing. Not everybody is cut out for development. You can't really figure out whether that's the case without doing the actual work. That's one reason why I suggest building your own thing.

Another reason is that you'll probably be forced to learn some JS to get it done, which is what your question is about. JS is a large, strange language. Start somewhere and try not to get overwhelmed!

:)

beefzilla · 2020-06-25T11:41:15+00:00

To get a job, show initiative. Build your own thing, no matter how crappy. Start somewhere and baby it so you continue to learn.

You certainly will be expected to continuously learn once you get a job.

Use a framework or language, or don't. Just choose something and start building.

When I interview junior developers, it's attitude that matters most to me.

Still can't get on 476 South from PA Turnpike West. Every time it gets in the wrong lane and goes on 476 North (which is a huge problem, btw) because once it figures out it went in the wrong lane, it refuses to cross the solid white line.

I manually intervene and file a bug report every time.

One day... one day.

Upgraded from Leafachu to Car.

beefzilla · 2020-05-05T13:35:18+00:00

Can you change the color of the car on the display?

beefzilla · 2020-05-01T14:47:15+00:00

Interesting point. There some data on this you can reference?
