"why doesn't this person have work through their professional network?"
Where I am from this is called nepotism and is frowned upon. Also a sign of a flawed job market.
Re:Borgo is a statically typed language that compiles to Go
on Wednesday May 01, 2024 @05:34AM (#40221189)
to me the problem is not the language per se but the emerging complexity of a project written in a language. I.e. say I'm familiar with go and a k8s user. Does that mean that I can understand the architecture of k8s project and be meaningfully productive in a short period of time? Far from it.
Sometimes I think we focus too much and formalize on the first order tooling we use, language being one of them, while we neglect the layers upon layers of abstractions built on top of them. I wonder whether a meta-language could exist that would be useful in these upper layers. Not a framework that imposes its own logic. More of a DSL that can capture both business logic and architecture.
Is Photographers in Conventions a Thing?
First time in a convention and probably the last one.In _every_ talk there was a photographer roaming the auditorium shooting with his camera using flash. So every few seconds there was this bright light in an otherwise dimly lit room. I lasted for 7 or 8 talks before I had a terrible migraine leaving the convention early.Is that customary? Are all conventions like that?
