  • It’s funny. When I first started, functional programming was going to be the next big thing. It bubbled along for a decade or so. I interviewed company founders about their functional software projects.

    Nothing happened.

    Sure there are a few, let’s call them niche, applications, but you just have to look around and see that object orientation made a bigger splash and even that is beginning to be evaluated.

    Perhaps functional software will have its day in the limelight, but with the latest AI slop fad, it’s going to be a while.






  • I think that likeability and presidency are not really related or relevant. I think that’s more about getting elected.

    I think that leadership is about building and shaping the world into a place where everyone can feel safe and loved.

    It’s about security and stability, about having an idea of what you want it to look like, being able to articulate that and then make it happen.

    That kind of leadership seems to be in short supply and getting rarer.

    I’m not sure why.
