@jdegoes @kitlangton @propensive You finally connected the dots 👏 Too much movies with yellow subs. Conspiracy everywhere... 🤦‍♂️ But I, as ex-SM, obviously a part of it 🕵️

@kitlangton @propensive The number of such connections (e.g. Travis 'stealing' a JSON library from Tony Morris / Scalaz, SM releasing a ZIO competitor) is astounding, but little known. Once you see it, however, you cannot unsee it. Scala is a pack of rabid dogs fighting for scraps from Odersky's table.

Why did this happen to @propensive? The short version is that Jon Pretty succeeded in angering the woke Scala bros -- principally the leaders of TL, but also various members of Scala Center and the scalac compiler team -- by attempting to play neutral in the many battles that followed the original LambdaConf "free speech" controversy. For one prominent example, Pretty refused to cancel me from Scala World, after Seth Tisue and Adriaan Moors made a coordinated attempt to cancel me from all Scala conferences. This marked a dramatic turn in the way the Scala Center related to Pretty and resulted in many individuals from TL officially promoting Pretty to a member of the outgroup. This was Pretty's original and fatal sin. For if he had not committed this particular sin, then everyone -- from the ringleader and original author of the Y letter -- to the initial set of signers, would have treated second-hand rumours of grumblings from a disgruntled ex-girlfriend the same way they treated a thousand other issues over the years. Instead, when Pretty became public enemy #2, then these second-hand rumours became the ember for a centrally coordinated effort to shape, even groom them into something that could be career-ending. If Pretty had made different decisions -- and here, I don't mean with Y and V, but with Scala politics -- then none of this would have happened. I suppose my involvement in this drama is at least partially why I have been so vocal about encouraging people to remove their signatures from the letter. I remember the exact moment when @djspiewak turned against Pretty. The three of us were sitting in a coffee shop, discussing Scala 3 and the future of Scala. Spiewak, who met with me only because Pretty was there (and organized Scala World, a coveted venue for Scala speakers), listened as Jon explained how we would each target different segments of the Scala 3 market. Jon would build an ecosystem rooted firmly in Scala 3, inspired by Python, and not purely functional -- so it didn't overlap with ZIO or TL. Spiewak was fine with that. But then Jon said that he would support my own effort to turn ZIO into the "Spring of Scala 3". Suddenly a look of abject disgust came over Spiewak's face, which he concealed only with some difficulty. From that moment onward, Spiewak's vote had already been cast. When Kit says, paraphrasing, "This could happen to me for choosing the wrong effect system," he's closer to the truth than most people could possibly imagine. The more history you understand, the more people in the community you know, the more horrifying the whole thing becomes. I could go on and on and tell more stories, some of which I was part of, and some of which I only know second hand. Stories that explain why everyone acted the way they did, why some have not removed their signatures and never will (they signed not because of compelling evidence or deep moral convictions, but to strike out at a perceived enemy). But I won't, at least not now. Because it's just too damn depressing, and what would be the point? Tragedies like this happens when little boys play like 'mean girls', only their egos are far bigger and their tactics far crueller. Justice and decency are casualties in a lustful quest for blood-soaked vengeance and retribution that knows no boundaries and ends only when one "side" or the other is utterly destroyed. Personal peace may come only if you accept that bitterness only poisons you (not the object of your bitterness), and if you deeply understand the meaning of, "'Vengeance is mine and I will repay,' says the Lord." There are some things in life that you cannot fix and that you must let go of, and this is one of those things. In any case, thanks to @kitlangton for all his magical educational and open-source contributions to the Scala community over the years and may his gifts enrich new ecosystems for many decades to come.

Are you a Rust Engineer? The magic to be able to route assets across all DEX is all written in Rust... apply here so that we can tell you more: jobs.lever.co/swissborg/c5a7…

@jdegoes Heard it before around 2008. OSGI - I recall when at SpringOne conference they were promising brave new world. I heard only about few applications other than IDE. Just about one on the enterprise level.

If the WebAssembly Component Model succeeds, the two biggest implications are: 1. Death of microservices 2. Ascendancy of Infrastructure-from-Code Let me explain why.

@koziolek Mi się podoba, rozumiem, że komuś się może nie podobać. Tak jak Ida mogła się komuś nie podobać. Za to na pewno znajdą się tacy "patrioci" co dopatrzą się tam szkalowania Polski albo powie im tak lokalny guru z Konfy i dadzą 1/10

Uważam, że ludzie, którzy narzekają na „1670”, mają kij w dupie i nie potrafią śmiać się z własnych przywar. Suche żarty? Pasują do dzisiejszej Polski, jak i tej sprzed 350 lat. Zła fabuła? Lepsza niż w Wiedźminie… BTW, teksty są na poziomie Sapkowskiego (W leju po bombie).

@TrysteroBlog @sekretarz Gdyby to było jedyne jego zachwalanie motyki to pewnie nie było by tyle hałasu. Ale on zawsze opowiada, że jego motyka to miecz świetlny, można wręcz mnożyć przykłady. Pytanie gdzie kończy się marketing, a gdzie zaczyna propaganda lub nawet oszustwo?

Tak, tyle, że te rzeczy to jest marketing a nie prognozy. Jak rzucasz się z motyką na Księżyc to musisz mocno zachwalać swoją motyką :) To jest część strategii rzucania się z motyką na Księżyc. Rozumiem, że można później z tego heheszkować. Ok. Ale fajnie jest też dostrzegać kontekst.

@cnakazawa Does proton has family account with vaults with different options of sharing?

I finally stopped using 1Password today, after 10 years. Thanks Proton. proton.me/pass

@adamwarski @LambdaDays @softwaremill Congrats, they really capture it

Thank you @LambdaDays for this recognition award - it is a pleasure to cooperate with you on the conference, in all the roles that I and @softwaremill have played over the years - as a speaker, program committee member and sponsor. Looking forward to the next editions :) But the real awards should go to the core team - I know how hard it is to put a conference together - led first by @michalslaski, and now by Barbara Trojecka!

@koziolek Niech zgadnę? Był lekarzem

According to @woj_zaremba (one of the founders of OpenAI), the reason why we don have AI that generates music is that music companies like to sue for copyrights. The Major Record Labels in this case really protect artists (meeting a UW facebook.com/watch/?v=62874… in Polish)

Really interesting post-mortem newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/inside-the-d… After reading it, the question arises: Can we still understand and reason about the underlying runtime of the services we create?

@grajo Not sure, the restaurant is pretty close ;)

@Zuchos It is fast cos it was prepared fast :)

Waiting 90 minutes for delivery of kebab.... is it still a "fast food"? #pyszne #kebab #FastFood
