Clojure. It’s just fun to write.

Firstly, it’s functional and “Lispy”. My code is super expressive. Writing code is like writing prose where I can choose a word (function) from a large vocabulary [1]. I can focus on high-level concepts and modifying states instead of fighting with low-level logic.

Secondly, it runs on JVM - an already robust and performant platform.

And there are so many good things that I cannot simply write in some words. The father of Clojure, Rich Hickey, is a genius in expressing Clojure’s design. You should check out some of his talks [2].

Too bad that Clojure is too “niche” that I haven’t got a chance to make a living by writing Clojure, yet. But learning it is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my career. Yes, it’s that good.

And most importantly, SMS is not secure [1].

Let’s be honest, even if you finish that 600-page book, you might not “crack” the algorithm interview. The inteview requires you to grind the question, or simply a lot of practices.

I usually check in with myself:

• Am I growing in my career?
• Am I happy with my current workplace: people, culture, flexibility?
• Am I valued to the company, i.e. my opinions are considered and regarded to some certain?

If one or two of these conditions failed, I would consider moving. After all, if I went to a workplace and I didn’t find any joy or recognition, the paycheck wouldn’t make me stay.

AWS (Route53 specifically). Not common but my personal lab runs on AWS so it’s nice to have a place for everything.

Still grinding ToTK (90 hours in). I haven’t finished the main story yet even though I bought the game on the release date. I’m taking it slow and enjoy the journey.

We self host an instance to share knowledge about self-hosting that instance.

Wow you’re self-hosting a password manager! Don’t you feel scared if something went wrong?

I’m also running Adguard as my DNS-level adblocker on my Pi 3. Feels way more content than Pihole.

Could you list some of your “stuffs” that you run on your k3s? I’m curious.

+1. I use Fish as my main shell now. It makes my scripting life so much easier.

At work, I still have to use Bash/Zsh though.

Not just the commands, you can try a modern shell: Nushell.

It takes a while to get used to, but after you get the basics your productivity for querying interactively would increase tenfold!

Well, obvious reason: you can’t edit an outdated video with easy effort. But with text you can.

But for a tech talk or demo, I’d still prefer a video than written text.

That is correct!
