Business Description
Human. Engineer. Designer.
I’ve been at this manager thing for a while and it’s hard. Hard but rewarding. I’ve built some high performing teams and without a doubt a key factor in my success has been 1-on-1s. When I keep to them diligently the team goes from strength to strength, and so do I. When I deprioritise them…yip you guessed it, bad things happen.
Circa 2016 I started my journey into the land of experience design. The journey from frontend dev to design director has been one heck of adventure. I’ve been extremely lucky to have had some excellent mentors, managers, and sponsors along the way. This post is not about them, but rather the books that accompanied me along the way.
I primarily use heroku to run my applications and Travis for CI/CD. I’m also currently giving Github Actions a try. So what do all those have in common? Well, for starters they have generous free tiers, but more importantly they’re not in the Google Cloud. Google cloud has some really nifty capabilities and so I end up using them pretty often. That’s where my problem started.
There was a time where I was working exclusively in clojure and using SSR for the frontend. It was a peaceful time. But alas peace doesn’t last for ever. And then I picked up a new full stack project. A project building a SPA.
Don’t you just hate functions with names that you can’t pronounce. I mean how do you pronounce -> ? On top of that, its name is not consistent across languages so learning it once is not a guarantee that you’ll know its name in another programming language.
Oh no, it happened again
it’s time to filter or keep
you ponder for hours it’s so
you don’t know which way to go
You’ve discovered the Luminus framework. You’ve reached unparalleled levels of productivity. You can build a web app at the drop of a hat. You can’t believe no-one told you about this before. You’re life is perfect except for one small thing.
Oh, you think JSON is your ally? I do a lot work with JSON. So much so that my favourite library is a JSON parsing library (cheshire). The most tedious thing about working wiht JSON is pulling keys out of JSON objects over and over again.
In my travels I have collected a set of clojure libraries that I can rely on to help me solve problems effectively. These are my top 5.
