Early Clojure IRC logs online again, now with new formatting:

There may be gaps due to my PC getting disconnected from the IRC server.

In 2005, Rich Hickey stepped away from client work and spent two years on a problem most engineers had stopped asking: what would a truly simple programming language look like?
The result was Clojure. We are telling the story in a new documentary. The trailer is out today. youtu.be/JJEyffSdBsk

Recent "sleep thief"... Direct native Wayland GUI rendering from Clojure! 👀
DSL modeled after Reagent, Hiccup, Re-com. Sexy UI, declarative(ish) & reactive with atoms in a "normal(ish)" way. WIP!

clojure-mcp by @bhauman is great! I'm still a coding-agent newbie user, but it was easy to set up with vscode and immediately improved the quality of the work the agent can do. Collapsed file reads, the grep tool, the editing tool, and of course eval--all very helpful.

Amusement parks are such a gift from the 1890s, and if they didn’t exist, would sound like such a fever dream. “We’re gonna make a bicycle wheel as big as a house and put little seats in the spokes” “imagine high tea, but the teacups are enormous, you sit inside and they spin”

I.... have no words.

someone in r/java has created one of the programming languages of all time

Complex proteins evolve through gradual processes: starting from simple peptides in primordial soups, gene duplications allow redundancy for mutations; natural selection favors functional variants. Exon shuffling recombines domains, while horizontal gene transfer shares innovations. Over billions of years, this builds complexity, e.g., hemoglobin from ancient globins via stepwise adaptations.

Sure you can get better, especially if you limit the number of variables you change over time. Same tools, similar project, good notes ->better estimate. Hot new framework, new domain, new kind of customer ->worse estimate.

Do not agree. It's a skill. You can get good at it. The real problem is that people do not want accurate estimates.

One thing that all types of programmers seem to agree on is that "You cannot get better at estimation". Only non-technical management types demand increasingly sharp & accurate estimates, That's probably the major appeal of Scrum, where both time *and* scope are fixed!

@chrishouser @potetm I agree on types (not the right level for design imo), but schemas seem like a good vehicle for discussion. I take it that has not been your experience?
English
neither tests nor types are gonna fix your busted designs.
tools do not a master make.

what do you believe, deep in your bones, about programming that almost everybody else does not believe?

I posted a 6 step tutorial on creating an LLM coding agent.
* Uses LiteLLM
* About 140 lines of python when finished
* Can use the free plan of GitHub Copilot (no API sign-up/credit is needed to work through the steps)
* Step 5 of the agent is used to create Step 6

just use a for loop they said. you don’t need a fancy map reduce they said. for loop is simpler they said.

Been doing brutal debugging on a complex system -- to the point that I go in every morning just expecting it to be a battle. Felt almost surreal when my only problem on this one was writing 0 instead of i; correcting fixed all the related stuff. Almost through the bug list yay
