🚨 CFP for www.reclojure.org is officially OPEN! To celebrate, a few members of the co-organizing squad have mobbed up to spill the beans about what this virtual online conference is all about. Learn the mysterious origin story of this epic online event. Is there an association with the London Clojurians Meetup group? Why is it virtual? Will it always be virtual? Wait, there’s a theme? What does “Clojure Growth” as a theme mean? Who are these keynoters? Why are these keynoters? Strap those earbuds in and hear the answers to these questions plus get a front row seat to hear about the manic behind the scenes processes: Chaos! Control! Clojure! Discord! Zoom! Oh my!! Finally, we reveal exactly who we want to hear from and what we hope to see in this year’s proposals.

Meowdy Folks! Guess who’s back? Back again… My L.I.L. podcast is back, tell a friend! 🤩  Full speed ahead into this season’s content train we have a chat with Clojure Consultant and Sassy CEO (Creative Executive Originator) Janet Carr who has been stirring the pot on the internets lately with her opinionated and entertaining blog posts. Here are a few links that are wonderful entry points to her content. Hire her. https://janetacarr.com/ Indie Hacker article: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/crush-it-stop-it-profit-the-un-glamorous-life-of-consulting-9b0ffef9fd The blog that started a revolution: https://blog.janetacarr.com/clojure-needs-a-rails/ That Bird app: https://twitter.com/janetacarr?s=20&t=eiLptRxowdSY9gzCuV3N2w

The tables have turned! Host of the defn podcast Ray Mcdermott shares his next big plans! Don't want to give too much away but you're gonna want to hear this! Could emacs be... usurped??

The code is not a lie. Join Chris B and I as we chat about how tf we have the SAME story? Cool! Starting with Linux in HS to doing some scheming to finally finding ourselves at the 2019 Clojure Conj. He opens the portal into portal which is the cool kids introspection tool that you always wish you had! Fun chat!  Some links: https://vimeo.com/223309989 = Stu's talk about programming at the REPL https://vlaaad.github.io/reveal/ https://github.com/djblue/portal

Joe and I first met at StrangeLoop 2021 and got along great due to our similar "Code is Data, Data is Code" soapboxes. A long time employee of Cognitect he has now struck out on his own to build https://www.crescent.app/ . We chat "crypto bros", crypto vs web3, choosing clojure and datomic as "weapons of choice", what is so healthy about fried chicken and his fabulous thriving dinner party culture they've built in the Nebraska tech scene.  https://pawlytics.com/ https://twitter.com/solussd

Calva is distilled from CIDER both in spirit (trying to recreate the CIDER experience in VS Code) and de facto, using much of the same tech.The latter means that, like with CIDER, Calva's Interactive Programming support is made from the produce of The Orchard by proxy of cider-nrepl, a collection of powerful nREPL ops.Calva also has a strong static suite, much thanks to clojure-lsp and clj-kondo Many people are enjoying Calva together with Portal or Reveal both of which are very strong and delightful tools for working with, and visualizing, result structures.Calva treats beginners, wether with Calva or Clojure, with an interactive Getting Started REPL experience.The getting started experience includes an interactive Clojure guide, which is hosted as one of the drams in the Dram repository. The goal is to bring the guides to any Clojure editor.The guide is also available in Zero-install browser version: Get Started with Clojure It is easy to Hack on Calva. PRs welcome!

Gratitude, suffering, growth, trauma, cats, hierarchy and coersion, toxic techbros, dolphin communication, the Clouncil, giving back to the community, cats and soo much more. There’s a bit of darker section that I should warn you about starting from minute 35-40.

Since meeting at the conj a couple years ago, Paula has been a supportive friend and mentor of mine so I was delighted to have her on. Join us as we talk about her recent contributions to clojure, swimming as meditation, music as a hobby and her remorse (https://github.com/quoll/remorse).  

YO! I was invited on to the cognicast ! Here is the Lost in Lambduhhs cross post release.

Just apply here or contact me for more info. After a couple of small interviews you are matched with your mentee and then meet with them weekly for 12 weeks. You provide guidance and support to them as they navigate basic tech literacy and web dev skills. (You can also just support the mission by donating) Thanks!!
