What is the commutative property?
20.2.2023
6:21
We discuss the commutative property, why we use it, and three different possible meanings.
Why is the associative property important?
13.2.2023
12:31

What is the process for coming up with a good conceptual model?
30.1.2023
14:49
We describe a three-step process for discovering conceptual models.
What is the closure property?
23.1.2023
7:45
I discuss the closure property, which creates operations that can be nested. It's one thing that makes an API feel like a DSL.
All about level three, algebraic modeling
9.1.2023
12:37
What do I mean by algebra? And how do we get from level 0 to level 3?
Why do we need to model time?
26.12.2022
10:59
All sophisticated models need to include time. We discuss two main ways to do that.
How do you make a function total?
19.12.2022
12:06
It is easier to reason about total functions. And you can make any pure function total using three techniques!
What is a mutation function?
12.12.2022
6:07
Mutation functions let you represent changing state over time. They are easily reified, used as reducing functions, and can operate on nested data.
What is Signature-Driven Development?
6.12.2022
11:14
Signature-Driven Development means starting with function signatures before you implement them. I also discuss why we implement the hardest function first.
