@joey@mathstodon.xyz @wilbowma@types.pl dense interwoven levels of kafkaesque here

@spiralganglion the story of flash is so particular and peculiar. doesnt really fit in the conventional narratives of success and failure in software

@ohad@mathstodon.xyz i had similar thoughts but sacrificed them on the altar of obtaining the desired harper-on-unitypes snowclone

@yaxu although its not strictly accurate that the main reason i'm disinterested in continuing in academia is latex and the ancillary minutia of 'print publishing', it's a perfect enough synecdoche that i say so anyway

@luley@mastodon.online https://hazel.org/ depicted multiplayer isnt live on dev yet

@fedithom @art_codesmith @jwcph (nb i don't really know how relatively true this is for other crafts in general as opposed to programming. i would assume that somewhat adept at digital painting is probably also decent at hand sketching, but also that many/most painters couldn't make their own paints or brushes. so it likely depends on what part of the skill one considers incidental versus essential)

Participants will work through a combined tutorial on value probes and functional programming in Hazel, and then complete some writing and debugging tasks; 2 hours total. Due to time constraints basic functional programming experience is required.

@art_codesmith @fedithom @jwcph this is an interesting point and maybe reflective of why llm adoption has been somewhat less controversial among programmers than writers (or woodworkers); the vast majority of programmers already had a near-total dependence on tools, so another level of abstraction is less of a bridge too far
