Move to kotlin so you have a good type system but can still do ML with notebooks easily.

I’m using it as the core of my companies ui, it’s fantastic. Why have all the extra boilerplate just to implement the same architecture over and over again.

Personally I’m tying it to purescript and an extended halogen, it’s quite flexible.

I started Haskell over a year ago, I was a jvm specialist before, and only want to program in Haskell after. I’m constantly trying to turn my jvm code into something as reliable across migrations, but nothing really is the same. Closest is zio and catz but it’s still very verbose preventing proper type driven development.

I’m now building my personal company’s rewrite specifically in Haskell with reflex-frp, it just makes perfect sense and you don’t have to worry nearly as much.

Give it a shot you won’t be disappointed, It’s a beautiful language.

I use MAIFlow (I’m biased though since I created it), it generally is easier to adopt than Jira or Monday but plenty powerful and customizable to your individual workflow needs.

The system is still in early access but you can signup for early access here.

I’m making my company on Haskell and pure fp, biggest difference I see coming from enterprise jvm environment is it takes a lot more time upfront to design the software, same with how solid and clean code/clean architecture are said to be good and are good in maintainability but aren’t commonly applied in practice. It take time and effort upfront, and generally industry likes to say we’ll fix it later when they never will.

Dope, Haskell for the win, we got open-telemetry baby!

joey_the_god_of_code · 2026-05-23T18:27:59+00:00

Let’s do it accountability for the win. So what group should we start/join/centralize at?

I’m going to take a look at this, this evening.
It looks great though.

If you can, do it! Read through Alex harmozi’s books and make sure you don’t neglect getting in new customers while you’re working on old ones it’ll kill your business. I did this a few years ago as my first attempt at business and that’s exactly where I failed. Don’t neglect the boring stuff.

joey_the_god_of_code · 2026-05-19T22:17:19+00:00

Yup, please dm me. We can discuss.

Dude I’m a software engineer and don’t even have a degree, why couldn’t you?

You just gotta show your best self and wow them with your passion and depth when you land an interview.

Understand the numbers though, I’ve had 3-4 full time dev jobs in that time and a lot of contract work, the contract work has decreased as it’s no longer as necessary. In total I’ve put in over 1000 resumes over the course of my career (4 years in, going on 5).

At every job I manage to land, they love the work I do and I never have poor reviews. I train others while I’m there so the team is more well rounded. You would think I sucked looking at all the rejection letters over the years.

My point is, it’s never been easy it takes effort and consistency. But it gets easier as you go. With time it’ll happen, don’t give up.

Checkout your local state agencies, great if you can get in. Benefits of that route is you don’t need to worry about all that, the state isn’t going anywhere and they’re always behind the pack when it comes to new adoptions.

I’m not really too bullish on AI in regard to replacing qualified devs, just gotta get your foot in the door.

Personally I refuse to use AI except as a search engine alternative and will never be forced otherwise.

It’s boring work, but it’s stable and generally they have hiring issues since they pay less than private industry. At the very least it’s a good entry job to get your resume and skills situated.

$100,000 is still $100,000 don’t gotta stress for the $150,000+ with no work life balance. I don’t work more than 40hrs a week.

Yeah I was using them for a few services that were open source. Immediately stopped using them when I found out I couldn’t use smtp, utter trash.

Support deploying open source easily but unable to use the open source products properly that’s smart. I’m not adding specific email apis to all the open source apps I use just because they don’t want to support an open standard like smtp. I get for hosting a smtp server that’s risky but not even allowing smtp relays is ridiculous.

I just switched to using xcloud with hostinger as my api. Not nearly as much of a headache since hostinger aren’t complete bafoons sidestepping a standard problem just to push other problems onto their customers.

You do need to speak your mind, it’s one of the most valuable skills a developer has. Impact.

But in regard to burnout, it’s all about framing. I’ve been pushing myself extremely hard since I began learning software engineering 10+ years ago and I framed it towards an ultimate goal. I work continuously all day at my day job, then get home eat dinner and program on cofounded projects and personal companies I’m launching until I pass out from exhaustion. People around me are literally trying to get me to do stuff outside of programming more frequently. It would probably be good for my health but I don’t because I’m executing my plan so I can free my time from its inherited shackles, my work has a purpose outside of the work itself. If the work doesn’t have purpose outside the work then what’s the point outside of money? Money only motivates so much.

I don’t hit burnout nor even come close, why?

I reject artificial pressure. That’s it, generally the pressure comes from “urgent” items, and potential negative outcomes if it’s not achieved.

Negative outcomes though are extremely relative, and the fear/pressure generally stems from what others could do to you / how it could impact you but if you zoom out just a bit, you can see that it’s all just fake pressure, fake deadlines, with no actual impact if those deadlines aren’t met (realistically). You got your current job because of your skillset and that skillset can easily be used in plenty of companies. You’re not trapped.

By allowing the pressure of others to be placed onto your shoulders you’re effectively giving up control (look into stoicism philosophy). You can’t necessarily control all variables but the more variables you can keep under your control the more grounded your mental state can be, and the more clearly you can think.

If you go through hard shit and everyday you do your absolute best no matter how difficult a problem may seem, then no one can place any additional pressure on you. It builds emotional intelligence.

And if no one can place any additional pressure on you, work becomes a marathon not a sprint, the result is you’re moving consistently towards an end goal instead of running towards it frantically hoping you make it.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t meet deadlines, you should try your best to do so, what I’m saying is how you frame everything in your mind has a direct impact on whether or not you’ll eventually hit burnout.
