I finally re-recorded and published my intro to Clojure's transducers talk that I gave last year. Check it out if you're a Clojure user who's not yet using transducers. It includes the insight that made me start using transducers every day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACwJNGxo3o4

I’m really enjoying growing plants hydroponically, but my dill plant is so robust that it’s literally giving me anxiety. Lol.

I’m eating as many fresh dill and tuna sandwiches as I can, and its butting up against the grow lights and getting burned. I think I’m going to have to murder half of it and make pickles.

But I’m excited that my Bok Choi is starting to make it (inaccurately labeled “thyme”). I’m confident I can eat Bok Choi as fast as it can grow…
