This myth that Amazon is customer obsessed like what part of Amazon are you looking at?

Excellent points and great insights. Thanks for taking the time to share!

The relationship with a potential employer and a romantic interest have the same dynamics between creepy vs confident/hustling. We all have seen examples of both, but if any have tried to project confidence or to hustle to any significant and meaningful degree you run a non-trivial risk of appearing to cross lines / be creepy.

Often it isn’t one or the other. Steve Jobs was both a heartless ass at times while also being a brilliant hustler.

My Sister is a member of his congregation in Boston, on a day when she was having a difficult time managing the difficulty of being a young mother of 5 while in a chapel during worship services (this happened within the last year or two) in the process of things there was a spill of things of hers into the aisle way. She shot down to the ground to try and gather up all the things now cluttering the aisle way. Of all the members of the congregation who could have stepped over to lean down and help recover the diaspora it was “Brother Christensen” who came over and, despite being in a body ravaged by age and all he’d been through, using support for mere walking. There he was putting in the genuine walk, leaning over repeatedly to help gather things for my likely frazzled and overwhelmed sister.

My sister was vaguely aware that he’d achieved some notoriety. When I went on to speak of the world wide reverberations of his work, it seemed to pale for me to the history my sister had related to me just prior of what this kind, old ‘disabled’ man had done for my sister. An act which virtually anyone else in his position would be excused for presuming that someone else could handle this ‘little’ need.

Thanks Bro Christensen for producing the rebar, the greatly undervalued acts that keep our society actually functional and bearable.

While prices have long been rising here in Utah, they are still a pitance relative to SV/SF you could set up near the University of Utah (or BYU if you’re okay with the oft times awkward happy valley vibe) for what should be very reasonable for a Software Engineer salary.

There’s a solid tech nexus forming whose geographic center is becoming a town between Salt Lake City and Provo called Lehi. Tons of co-working spaces. It’s one of only 4 states in the nation where computer software developer is the most common job https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/02/05/382664837/map-... it, at the very least, has a sizeable workforce that depend on their ability to sling code to make a living.

I’ve heard a lot of heresay, from people who’d know, about how much Northern Utah is resembling the appearance of SV from some decades back during its ascent.

If you know Clojure and AWS I really don’t think it is poorly communicated. There’s a limit to that idiom of simplicity and understanding being correlated.

This was a walk through of the mechanics. The TL;DR is if you are comfortable enough in AWS and Clojure implementing your system in a scalable and simple and wholistic way just got a bunch more accessibile.

This looks like a Godsend :)

The only qualm I have is it being only on AWS.

Other than that this enables just what I could use right about now!

SEEKING WORK - Northern Utah (SLC to Provo) or Remote

I've mostly been doing backend work, and most of that in Scala, but Clojure is my first programming language and I have been learning it for close to 10 years.

I've built a wide range of things from an interpreter to update business logic code for an upgrade of a proprietary enterprise application for medical billing/coding software.

A couple Scala/Play microservices (one a financial/mortgage industry calculator and the other to oversee some GUI automation tasks against an old Windows app).

I've created a completely normalized relational schema with over 330 tables.

Presently I'm creating a Clojure/script, Om Next & Garden based library for declaratively creating composite css shapes with their corresponding html.

know - Clojure (first language, one I know best via book learning / theory) know - Scala (The one I have the most experience in as I've used for most of my almost 3 years of professional programming career) done-a-bit-of - XQuery, Java like-to-learn - Rust, Elixir, miniKanren/core.logic, chez/Scheme, Idris

Is someone's creds on 'getting things done' largely based on visible projects? Or are other things considered?

For example becoming a self taught programmer? Quadrupling one's income? Doing all that while starting a new family? I feel like I'm becoming significantly more formidable. But the side project that pulled me into becoming a programmer, itself, is still lacking clearly visible progress.

Growing up in Utah is such a different perspective. The California gull is celebrated just like, or even more than, the Bald Eagle.

Come to Utah all you gulls! Your ancestors made you a protected species here!

Sad. Grooveshark always allowed me to find stuff I had a hard time finding otherwise. Good memories with my son when he was between one and two dancing in our little apartment living room to music from grooveshark. Condolences to family and friends. I don't know him, but he made something that has a part of several really good memories.

Looking for a junior Clojure, Scala or Java dev position. Most of my professional day-to-day experience is in Scala and Java but most of studies and interest lie with Clojure and/or Functional Programming. I've also dabbled in SASS/CSS and have over 15 years experience with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, though principally for print media applications.

Location: Draper UT

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: Possibly

Technologies: Clojure, Scala, Java, PL-SQL, Relational Database Design, SASS.

He's providing such extremely high value and he could make it without them. If anything he's redeeming government expenditures that generally have low returns into something that actually does something amazing.

Mr Polad, my 8th grade US history teacher taught me this same lesson. It does seem tedium at first, but I've never found anything better at retention.

Granted I think taking a lecture on the same topics is a major reinforcement.

I get the feeling that the clarity of the idea and outward, ease of discerning progress are the principle criteria used to distinguish the promise of the team and idea. In the case of progress, especially early progress, being full of'black triangles', accomplishments mostly only appreciated by those in the know, is there much effort put into trying to see that? Or do you more stick to the clearly understandable progress?

Japan is a cut rose. Cut in a clean way. Kept at an optimal temperature and sitting in an optimized floral solution. It will last quite a while in a very attractive state, but its still cut from that which renews and replaces.they, like much of the world, are in for either a great mutation or an extinguishing.

I often use the vids as information fodder for listening while i work. If something strikes me as more salient, or potentially useful for my future needs then I'll make a note to set aside time outside of work to really pay attention to the course.
