Some meetings are more demanding psychologically than hours of the coding work.

You might not be able to do a complicated work for hours after such meeting. If you feel ashamed of being non-productive, consider sitting with a coffee and thinking about architecture.

#programming

One of the strengths of Tagless Final approach in #scala is that you can write most of your code without any dependencies on actual effect system, such as Cats Effect.

It pushes you to think what is your actual business logic and makes a code structure simpler and more readable.

In some of the areas I am involved in, in CPU intensive tasks, Scala Native application seems to be working 30% - 40% faster than preheated JVM counterpart. I wonder what kind of optimization it does there... I, actually, expected it to be slower. 🤔

#scala

Good morning, I am happy to remind you, that your #sbt build files is not an instruction how to set the values for your settings, but a set of functions on how to transform the existing settings. Remember this and your day will become brighter and happier.

#scala

I once wanted to write a book about Akka Streams. I mastered materializers, bifunctors, NotUsed, backpressure etc. Wrote my own stages, used Graph DSL. Really cool!

The problem is that you can, often, do the same job with couple of lines of Cats Effect, even without FS2.

#scala

A #scala developer complained to me the build is too slow as it takes a minute on his laptop, and that we should consider splitting a repository.

I talked to another developer. He said we should not split, because the build is fast now, i.e. it only takes a minute on his laptop.
