I'm from a FE background doing fullstack JS but for the past 1.5 years I've been working with the languages PureScript and Haskell full time.

Absolutely love learning and teaching (https://egghead.io/instructors/vincent-orr) and I've worked in both corporate - startup environments. As a fullstack JS developer I was a senior and when dealing with PureScrip & Haskell I'm mid level.

Looking for a challenging opportunity with an exiting product that I can really help improve, as I'm more interested in working somewhere I can become passionate about what I do.

Would really like to keep in FP thinking teams but I'm open to introducing all of the real word FP benefits, if this means learning a new language like F#, closure etc then I'm more than confident that I have a really fast learning curve due to being able to work as a Haskell dev with less than a years learning. :)

I also enjoy OSS where I contribute on many projects (https://github.com/Cmdv)

the above was a response to @roel_v :)

Hi,

thank you for your constructive response, I agree with what you are saying. Due to the length of my experience it's going to be hard to give my beliefs any sort of foundation to an experienced programmer. With this in mind I also wrote the article to hear and learn from other people's constructive views.

I believe there is no shame in being wrong, because to me that is the only way one will ever learn and improve. I also try to be aware of trying not to fall into the bias trap, so I try to use the null hypothesis when it comes to choosing what to follow or learn. But most importantly I want to learn a subject in which I take a real interest and passion. Then branch out from there.

Like I mentioned before, the primary goal for my article is to inspire people to experiment and try things that might not be what the mass agree with and actually give it a go and taking it further than checking if the repo has enough stars.

Plenty of companies pay for developers to experiment and it would be impossible for all companies to afford this. At the same time there are plenty of chip100 companies that don't have any OSS projects yet they are clearly reaping the benefits. That comment is me being optimistic and potentially not a realist due to the harsh nature of business.

Thank you again for the response. :)

Hi, I'm the author.

I think you've done a lot of reading between the lines. The intention of the article was to get people inspired to try experiment and explore new things.

I did say I was painting with a wide brush. That doesn't excuse some inaccuracies you don't agree with.

I'm not a grad student or a young whipper snapper, being closer to 40 than my 30's.

These are only observation I've experienced so far and appreciate your view on the mater.

I've also been learning Haskell so I am interested in the whole FP paradigm, so though I've only been do JS so far would really like learn other languages.

Maybe my experiences so far aren't what most people experience coming into programming.

I'm sure what ever I say won't make a slight difference but wanted to clarify a few points.

Happy Hacking

improvements coming in thick and fast, liking it

I've been playing with Cycle.js and was struggling a little even though I have previous experience in RxJS but after going through this article it really cleared up some fundamental aspects to Cycle.js :)
