Morning 👋 I'm an engineer at Cubiko in Brisbane, doing health analytics for GPs. Full stack clj[s] for client side, python/dbt for data side
Your answer made me check out dbt, that's interesting!
G'day. We're a Hobart based IT Consultancy. We've delivered various web based business applications which have re-frame based UIs (complex single page webapp stuff). Backends are typical .NET stuff.
I've always used reagent alone and never tried re-frame, but it does sound powerful!
Reagent is a lovely building block. I'm a big fan of an event loop (dispatch from views, registered handlers to process change).
re-frame does a good job. It has opinions but also quite a lot of tooling beyond the core value proposition which helps. Nothing's perfect but it's a good technology.
Afternoon. I work for Swirrl in the UK from Hobart, we work with local government and government departments converting their data and storing it in RDF, exposing it via SPARQL and helping them build apps against that data. Currently making updates and bug fixes to services produced by the previous owner of one of our current contracts.
Wow. How do you like working remotely with such a time difference? Did you work at this company in the UK in the past?
There's a pretty big benefit in getting a full, uninterrupted day of work done. The flip side is occasionally (probably once a week on average) having a meeting at 9 or 10pm. I've also found I actively need to be able to juggle multiple tickets/issues/projects for when I get stuck on one and can't get help right away. All in all I've been here a year and it's all working out so far.
