🎺🎺🎺 After 8 years of work, 28,000 commits, 7,400 pull requests, 4,100 closed issues – Scala 3 is finally out! Read more here: scala-lang.org/blog/2021/05/1…
We're happy to announce Scalabase - a FREE conference for developers in the early stages of their #Scala journey this May 14th! Talks from: @DanielaSfregola, @noelmarkham, @frankie_hammond, @marji_sound, @AsjadSB, Daniel Oakey, & Emily Misoni! Register: buff.ly/3aSbK2G
My recipe for effective software debugging is to follow the scientific method: Step 1: Ask a specific question In other words, don't tweak random settings or collect random data/logs. Be purposeful in every experiment. Justify every action [1/5]
Great to be here @lambd_ale Thank you to everyone who came up to me after I asked my question and everyone who made a newcomer to this lovely community feel welcome ❤️❤️❤️

Me too, that was my highlight, just what we needed!
Fantastic talk from @peterb at @lambd_ale conf, we are responsible for the balance of people entering the fp community and we have to make effort to let everyone in! Thanks so much.
Sounds obvious but needs repeating often "Women - actual humans - are more important than software"

I can't help but notice in threads around D&I in tech, that a lot of folks argue that "gender/race/etc doesn't matter, only the value you bring matters". i would LOVE to live in a world where that's true. but it's not. it's a classic debaters mistake to conflate "is" & "should"
1,000,000% this. If a senior engineer can’t explain it to you in a way you understand - even if you are a lot less experienced - that’s THEIR deficiency. Not yours. When this happens, it means THEY actually don’t understand it well enough.

Just started with twitter - seems it gives a voice to anyone who thinks they have something important to say. That is completely different from giving a space for the people who need to be heard. Am I using it wrong or is that by design?
Everything from here onwards in this thread points out scala is the worst aspects of tech, well worth reading.

@propensive When you’re privileged it’s easy to say “just be friends” (no one has ever threatened your existence). “Just live fearlessly” is even worse (Sure, you’re not worried about any financial setback, rich white guy.) (“you” for illustration only)

think equality is treating everyone the same? He who drives a metaphorical steamroller blindfolded will only hurt those who can't get out of the way. That's not equality.

Diversity in tech is not about individuals it's about society and power. "making tech" equals "power" so "diversity problem" equals "structural power imbalance" Equality of opportunity isn't enough, even if we could somehow achieve it.
Our Digital Fellowship Scheme for 2019 is now open for applications! Follow the link for details and information on how to apply theguardian.com/info/2019/may/…
