Don't be intimidated by #FunctionalProgramming! Once you get it, it's fun and a powerful tool for maintaining complex software. Let’s dive into why large programs become harder to manage as they grow, and how FP can help: bit.ly/4gNFeiV Uberto Barbini @ramtop.bsky.social #InfoQ #Java

I kind of wondering why dems didn't say this louder before the election...

Funnily enough, AI requires even more writing clean code with tests, small commits, and merciless refactoring: youtube.com/watch?v=wd2n7D… next week we will try *real* TDD

I just published a detailed tutorial on how to code GRPO (the reinforcement learning algorithm used to train DeepSeek R1) from scratch and how to finetune the Qwen-2.5-1.5B-Instruct model using GRPO to solve 90% of the problems from the GSM8K dataset of high-quality,

AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.

To better understand FP, especially with Kotlin, I purchased the book "From Objects to Functions" and as of my understanding FP is about types and morphisms. However, what is your approach to handling/organizing state(holders) in your architectures Uberto Barbini @ramtop.bsky.social?

My flow with AI assistants is getting more and more refined and standardized. I miss 2 features: - automatically save the prompt in the commit message (I commit after each prompt) or in a separate file. - be able to apply the same prompt to a set of files iteratively.
