Hi folks! I'm looking for my next tech role and would really appreciate help spreading the word. I have 10+ YoE and am open to Senior/Staff/Principal, Tech Lead, and Engineering Manager roles. An intro or RT would mean a lot. ❤️ #OpenToWork

Cuckoo Fibre today made all of their Front End Developers redundant so I am looking for a new role. If you hear of any opportunities or just want to catch up, please send me a message.
About me & what I’m looking for:
💼 Principal Frontend Developer with 24 years experience building for the web.
💅 A Senior Designer before switching fully to Front End Development in 2011.
🌎 Open to hybrid roles in Leeds.
⭐ Previously worked at Sky Sports, Sky Bet, William Hill, and others.
👔 Contract and Freelance experience working for The Premier League, Betfair, and Shell.
😄 Pretty friendly guy

Sorry for sounding elitist, but all the best software engineers I come across end up gravitating towards FP. It often takes them years as a gradual process, but FP solves many problems that OOP struggles with. I wish FP people would stop with the math and category theory though.

I'm happy to share the release of gemma.cpp - a lightweight, standalone C++ inference engine for Google's Gemma models:
github.com/google/gemma.cpp
Have to say, it’s one of the best project experiences of my career.

Haskellers are keen to force you into Math even if it's not needed, and this affects everything: posts, books, talks, and discussions on the internet.
Unfortunately, the very obsession of haskellers with cool mathy smart things scared many pragmatic people away from Haskell.

My free #Haskell course now has 700 stars on @github! ⭐️
I promised to make another educational video when the course gets 1K stars, and guess what, I already made it! 🤩
Just casually waiting here for another 300 stars before publishing 🚀👀

⭐️ In 4 days, my #Haskell course went from 400 to 500 stars on GitHub, and it took another month to go from 500 to 600 but it finally made it! 🎉
I'd like to remind everyone that I'm going to create more content once my course collects 1K stars! 🥳

Part #19: FP is too theoretical
by @impurepics
#haskell #fp
It always seemed strange to me how tools based on ad-hoc approaches are more popular than the ones that use fundamental and universal concepts 🤔
ALT A Yes, But - inspired Haskell meme with the "Yes" part a scientist saying "We based FP on fundamental concepts to serve the developer, not the machine" and the "But" part with developers saying "FP sounds too theoretical and mathy! We don't want to try it. Thanks."

Happy International Women's Day!
We're celebrating women who have changed the world. Here's all of the amazing women who have received the #NobelPrize and their remarkable achievements at the time of the award.
Who are the women who inspire you the most?

⭐️ My #Haskell course for beginners has 400+ GitHub stars now! Thanks everyone for your support 🤗
To celebrate this achievement, I updated exercises in my course to GHC 9.2.5. Happy FP learning everyone! 🤓🧑💻

Check out that 15th part of the #Haskell Yes, But!
We all don't like notorious space leaks and it's an unfortunately consequence of lazy evaluation 😞
Anyway, I have a blog post with suggestions on preventing space leaks in your Haskell programs 👇

Part #15: Lazy Evaluation is Superior
by @impurepics
Admit it, you're eager to spend weeks debugging space leaks just so you could avoid writing for-loops and instead be able to write:
map (* 2) . filter even
ALT A "Yes, But"-inspired Haskell version with the "Yes" part a person saying "I love lazy evaluation, it's so superior and easy to reason about" and the "But" part showing a growing memory usage chart indicating a space leak in the program.

The fact that I went to a four year university and still had to study extra for software engineering interviews blows my mind.

I'm happy to announce that the PDF of Haskell, The Craft of Functional Programming (3rd edition) is available to view and download for free. Later in the year I'll revise it and make it available as an online text. But for now, here it is, uncorrected: simonjohnthompson.github.io/…

Let's find out just how far text-as-vision can go.
#SimTex - I coded this up over the holiday as a data generator + perception challenge for language models.
Have a look👇
