Is Category theory applying in functional programming a scam: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJvbY5iabbd6n9U

Amazing, great talk!

I have tutored math for many years. When I would tutor -- especially "story" problems, but even just general math -- I always tried to say "Here's the problem; here's how you can break it down into smaller problem, smaller subproblems, etc. When I finally learned programming I realized that I had been teaching Top-Down. I LOVE that concept, and now I always tutor that way EXPLICITLY and mentioning that phrase. Needless to say, I therefore absolutely love your video, too! And all the more so because I'm very interested in Category Theory. So I started to study Haskell ... and was a little disappointed that the only category used in Haskell is the Category of Haskell Types (if I understand correctly). Oh, well! Anyway, I'm overjoyed that I stumbled onto your video ... and I look forward to watching many more! Really great work!

Great talk. When he chooses Void vs Unit when explaining exponentials, are there not 0 inhabitants of Void? So he should have chosen Unit instead?

Holochain = web3

Most math books don't even type-check 🤣

The questions was very informative and the argumentation of Erik was weak at least;.. I miss the time he was into RX. Now he seems more driven by $$ around LLM than CS stuff. He just moved where the money is that's all. I mean common, as one question was asked: why would you use a natural language with all its fuzzyness to specify a programm to a machine ? This thing will never scale to the complexity we are in our daily jobs... yet another utopia to remove developpers from the equation. It remembers me the L4G delirium in the 80s. Where are they now ?

If we can use LLMs to generate high-level code, why don't we use LLM to generate machine code directly?

this good for support depopulation program,, lol,, 😅

Awesome session, the discussions afterwards ruled :)

These guys are awesome 😎👍

Brilliant!!

So sad I missed this! I was out on errands when I got a notification. Isn't there any newsletter with upcoming events anymore?

Loved this. Even though it is an old video.

Nice talk, just one little comment. MTBF means mean time between failures, not before. That would be MTTF, mean time to failure.

His choice of t-shirt is still the same :) I've seen him using similar t-shirt when he was still in Microsoft ^_^

I'm a simple man. I see Erik Meijer I immediately click and watch.

Scrum is garbage. It's uselessness is compounded by the fact that most businesses demand the predictability of waterfall (deadlines, etc) with the flexibility that scrum promises (but seldom delivers). Scrum really fails when architecture or planning is needed (I know...sprint 0...yadda...yadda).

Congratulations 👏👏👏

the weird thing is he was saying the same thing three years ago, so i assume for three years now he is moving the legacy code to the cloud lol

What a great talk by Scott!

The fact that this guy thinks it's okay to wear something like that in an office environment tells me he's a sociopath.

Thanks, This is very useful for who hasn't been working with react-query or unfamiliar its, I expected more, of course I have been working react-query 4 years, I am Iranian and proud an Iranian lady :).

Minute 28 you hit the nail on the head, but don't understand the source of the rituals. Management is always looking for methodology and status reports because they have to provide measurements. So they are always grasping for the latest silver bullet.

Great video!

39:11 fundamentalist functional programmers

The most horrible things that can be intentionally done by humans to other human beings. They enjoy destroying as much life and humanity as technically and humanly possible. Truly the sickest fcks on the planet Earth. Most victims are Mind controlled and are unaware - others are mercilessly tortured to force suicide and / or cause death. These attacks include voice communications from the attackers transmitted to the brains of victims.

C++ and tdd in the same sentence. Hell!!

This is a good talk, and it is not too far from today's ChatGPT as "Programming 2.0"

The first thing that comes to my mind is Scrum Certifications

I think you have not quite understood mathematics and that an equation that involves infinity can still have a real result. To stay in the methaphor, what is the limit of complexity tends to infinity ? The solution must be God ;)

still think about this talk 8 years later, phenomenal

I‘m 3 minutes in and I still don‘t get any of the references, this sounds like a totally made up speech to me 😂

Great presentation 🎉

You mooroons did not plan the video content in advance. Seems like you are teaching yourselves

So few dev teams know this Even fewer tech companies So many cargo cult processes

Nice talk!

Could you provide us the slides? Thanks so much.

Tack för intressant video och talks! Som Hampus L. skriver i chatten så är Factfullness av Hans Rosling verkligen något att tipsa om kring detta topic!

This talk seems to me a kind of Bullshit-Bingo. That't the real problem. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4uTZphterKCgq8

Third-world countries... Huh :(

Not judging...but it would be genuinely funny to lock James and Uncle Bob into a room and watch them discuss TDD :D

🌺 "Promo sm"

This mirrors my experience of TDD over the past decades. It simply does not work as well as other forms of testing. If I was starting a project/team from scratch right now, I would employ a dedicated SDET for high level System and Integration test automation, and tell developers not to waste their time on a single Unit Test - spend more time with your kids instead.

I know this is blasphemy... but I can't help it.... It might be because I'm dyslexic or something but all those parentheses just "do my head in"... I'm so grateful to JavaScript for teaching me all about LISP but with a syntax that I can comprehend. ..... sorry.
