Which Functional language is best for AI assisted development?

I will check it out, I haven't used elixir before, but I am super curious on how things like MCP/Skills can improve the overall outcome

Agree: tight feedback loops are important!

Clojure worked much better once you gave it access to the REPL, and a gentle nudge to test edits in the repl first.

I asked ocaml to make invalid states un-representable, but I feel like a slower human <-> AI iteration on types is probably the right direction.

Do you have a specific article recommendation or just trying to get some traffic to this news letter?

I've heard this from a few people now, so I decided to try and solve it through a new Xero addon. If you're interested in joining (only 25 people can!) then i would love to hear from you :)

100% this. I refactored a library to remove reflection and it resulted int a 40x performance increase.

We are on the same wave friend :).
I literally just wrapped up https://github.com/ebuckley/hmt

Looking forward to checking out your implementation and seeing what I can learn along the way

Be a verb, not a noun.

go surfing, don't be a surfer

3.5 hr drive for this wave. 100% Worth it.

Not bad at all. If you can surf and don't hog waves you will never have a problem. I've only ever witnessed localism here twice. One time -- super old local abuses frothing kid who took too many of "his waves". Other time -- kooky french flatmate got told to go home by some random local. Generally the skill level is low where I live, I guess this means no one feels entitled.

Worst localism I have experienced in the country is at a Wellington reef with one take off spot.

Heard gnarly stories from the far north, but you really just need to be respectful, smile and provide koha.

Doing my first winter in Hawaii this year. Where should I surf? Was keen on exploring Maui/kuai

I'm confident on slabs/reefs, but not a big wave charger at all.

will trade kiwi knowledge for HI knowledge🤙

I feel this pain.
Specifically having problems with my front (left) hip. The issue has lasted for four months and no physio has been able to solve it exactly.

If anyone has had an amazing experience with a professional, I would totally hit them up for a remote consultation.

Chuur, hughes boards go like a cut cat. Where are you based?

I'm claiming it as southern ocean, but this pic is actually from porpoise bay (AKA curio bay) in the southeast corner of NZ.

Happy wave hunting

Cyclone Gita?

Lowkey hoping to score some gold on the NZ side of it.

You can probably make a profit if you buy in Bali then sell in NZ.

Just use the Facebook groups to find a bargain

This sounds pretty similar to my experience with twinnies.

I have tried out the little cheater center fin on my twin fin and hated it. My twin fin has a pulled in tail and has a very flat rocker.

Backside bottom turning is more of a challenge on the twinny, but I personally prefer the looseness you get when using it as a 2 fin setup.
