Clojurians Log v2

I can't take doing JS any more

I understand

i keep trying thinking ok ok ok maybe this time it will make sense

JavaScript allergies can be tough to deal with

for some reason i am helping ACC Bootcamp students learn Javscript.

they said you said you hate JS?

I said yeah, i must have done something bad in my previous life ...

i did some python for awhile

now i am convinced i only want ever and forever want to do clojure

i'm doing pythonish stuff at work

We definitely need some non-remote clojure work here in town

I found a nice use for spec the other day. I’m doing some elasticsearch 5 testing and made a spec for a few document types I’m working with. Then I can quickly generate some random documents to populate the db with.

Nothing fancy, but it was quick and easy, and it gave me a chance to finally do something on my own with it

oh cool

anybody hear if Seranova landed anyone?

they wanted me to work there.. for low pay

I tried to keep in contact

But I’ve heard nothing.

hmm

well..

I was hoping the meetup would be able to help them be successful here

have they ever come?

No, but I offered to support them outside of the meetup.

well.. last i talked to them ... they had only frontend poeple in austin and not to interested in learning clojure, well one guy was...

i was thinking of doing a workshop, anyone who wants to come ...maybe end of jan ?

That would be fun

we could use the same project as last time... a simple compojure app ... or ... can we think of something more interesting or different .. maybe get some repeat customers from the last class

i dont have Iron Yard or Devbootcamp to get freespace ... but could be we can do it at Conde Nast

what about ... clojurescript..

:thinking_face:
