it's me. always have have been so

Does anyone else judge the difficulty of a problem by how many tabs you close once you've solved it?

Y'know, like Sherlock Holmes' "Three pipe problem" - "This was a six tab problem" or the like.

I was refactoring some very foundational stuff in my codebase today that rippled almost thru every module I had.
The interesting and scary thing was that I couldn't compile for almost 6 hours until I had applied all of the changes. And as time went on and on and I could compile I grew more and more uneasy as I really didnt know if things will work out. But then it compiled and all tests run.
static (inferred) typing really rocks!

this is some serious black magic

@maradydd ma'am
your rhetoric is raving
your oratory opulent
your vocabulary vast
your speech spectacular
your elocution excellent
your fucks fierce & fuckingly flattering
Last Friday was one hell of a day.
I sat all of the day staring at my #sharp editor trying to figure out how to express HKTs on type signatures ... (yeah I know you #Haskell types do that for breakfast)
So I sat there typing a line now and then, more staring, a short google search, staring, thinking, again more staring.
I knew there was a solution. I could almost see it like thru mist.
And then while commuting home it was there. Just like Lego blocks self assembled. Writing a blog abt it now
@ino
your testing your next Helloween costume impersonating Bartosz while running around and scare junior programmers by screamming "Yoda Lemma Kleisli"?

@deech you sure that "getting things done" is a good metric?
If that were the case than certainly Germany from '33 - '45 is hard to beat.
- lots of Autobahns
- almost no Unemployment
- almost all of Europe conquered
- several million Jews and other murdered
- almost all of Germany's infrastructure destroyed
- millions of German soldiers dead or missing

... so somehow the overall effect was not exactly what was promised.

I agree that Americas democracy gets "more done"

having spent my first few weeks learning haskell defending myself against accusations of being a "bro-enabler" due to my associating with the *alleged misogynist* coauthor, people assuming now that i have a feminist agenda is interesting. i've come full circle, it seems. people are so quick to label.

i think in the end we end up being liked or disliked by people for their own reasons, and there's not much we can do about it, so, no, i don't worry too much about it, thx for ur concern.

@deech is that true?
@nico thx
