Good morning.

pupeno 2015-12-23T09:47:06.000783Z

@agile_geek: are you in a train?

agile_geek 2015-12-23T09:50:49.000784Z

I was yesterday. Went to see prospective client in Leeds

mccraigmccraig 2015-12-23T11:31:43.000785Z

you got a new biz in the works @agile_geek ?

agile_geek 2015-12-23T11:34:15.000786Z

I hope so but suspect this may just lead to more contract work. Either way its was good set of meetings

mccraigmccraig 2015-12-23T14:04:38.000787Z

i done gone started a new biz - looking for a new clj/cljs dev now too :simple_smile: http://yapsterchat.com/jobs/dev/index.html

agile_geek 2015-12-23T14:27:13.000788Z

@mccraigmccraig: sounds cool!

mccraigmccraig 2015-12-23T14:29:52.000789Z

@agile_geek: thanks - starting customer trials in jan - will see then if they think the same

mccraigmccraig 2015-12-23T14:31:29.000790Z

(though since the primary idea/need came from early customer sessions, i am optimistic :simple_smile: )

agile_geek 2015-12-23T14:32:55.000791Z

@mccraigmccraig: If I've down time between contracts or other activities and you need another remote dev for a bit I might contact you 😉

mccraigmccraig 2015-12-23T14:33:43.000792Z

be careful @agile_geek - i'll indoctrinate you in the way of the monad

agile_geek 2015-12-23T14:34:09.000793Z

S'OK....I like burrito's...

mccraigmccraig 2015-12-23T14:34:41.000794Z

are they like burritos too ? i've lost track...

agile_geek 2015-12-23T14:34:46.000795Z

but as I can't eat flour only 'naked' ones. Which are nothing like monads!

agile_geek 2015-12-23T14:35:40.000796Z

Seriously if you can make monads stick with me you're possibly the best teacher ever!

mccraigmccraig 2015-12-23T14:36:25.000797Z

i'll bet you can make a perfectly good burrito with gram flour or dhosa or something

agile_geek 2015-12-23T14:37:02.000798Z

Yeah, gram flour would probably work

mccraigmccraig 2015-12-23T14:40:14.000799Z

the way they stuck with me was ignoring all the 'tutorials' and playing around until i had a solid feel for how they worked... i also had a good reason to be forcing myself to learn, which always helps

mccraigmccraig 2015-12-23T14:44:22.000800Z

now i'm hungry. thanks @agile_geek 😉

agile_geek 2015-12-23T14:44:41.000801Z

np!

glenjamin 2015-12-23T15:26:46.000802Z

“programmable semicolons” is the best explanation that’s managed to stick in my head so far

glenjamin 2015-12-23T15:26:59.000803Z

but dunno if that means much before you’ve grokked them

agile_geek 2015-12-23T15:44:40.000804Z

@glenjamin: ???

glenjamin 2015-12-23T15:45:19.000805Z

the idea is that semicolons separate statements in many programming languages

agile_geek 2015-12-23T15:48:05.000806Z

that much I know

glenjamin 2015-12-23T15:53:03.000807Z

oh sorry, got distracted

glenjamin 2015-12-23T15:53:19.000808Z

and monads allow you to program how “statements” are combined

mccraigmccraig 2015-12-23T15:59:46.000809Z

ha, yeah, that gives a flavour of do-notation

afhammad 2015-12-23T16:13:54.000810Z

hello peeps, are there any SPA friendly server-side templates. Ideally looking for something to set me up with a sane server with logging, auth (buddy jwt), maybe Component ?

mccraigmccraig 2015-12-23T16:33:06.000811Z

@afhammad: don't know about templates, but i have a project like that - happy to let you know what i've got that works

mccraigmccraig 2015-12-23T16:41:27.000812Z

hmm. though my workflow is based around the now-deprecated yoyo, so probably not the best place to start a new project

afhammad 2015-12-23T17:15:53.000814Z

@mccraigmccraig: might be useful to take a look if you don’t mind sharing
