For the past three years, I’ve been working at deepchannel .com as the second full-time Software Engineer. We built the "VSCode for data engineers". I've done a bit of everything there – from conducting technical interviews and getting an internal ETL tool and backend HTTP API off the ground to kicking off some of the core intelligence features in the IDE and seeing them through to production.
I love functional programming and hacking. I’ve made extensive OS contributions in PureScript and JavaScript, and have been organizing meetups and hackathons in my home city of Tbilisi.
I have about ten years of software engineering under my belt, including six years working remotely for U.S. startups. I’m looking for a small-to-medium size team. Ideally we would start remotely, but I would be open to moving to New York or San Francisco. I’m at my best working with people who are optimistic and driven, where everyone’s all about teamwork and helping each other grow.

As A British, it feels affected to use "yall", but it's undeniably useful as a more precise "you" at times.
Perhaps wanting to use it more lately because I've been working on my German, where they have ihr/euch/euer.

I am extremely excited to announce a new #PureScript project from Arista NDR: `purescript-backend-optimizer`
github.com/aristanetworks/pu… A new optimization pipeline and alternative modern-ES backend for PureScript!
Dear market researchers, if you actually want me to complete a survey, don't make questions require an answer unless you also include an option for "no opinion".

Is there a practical reason for <|> being left-associative? It seems like for every case I use it, I want right-associativity. I just can't imagine this being anything but a historical accident since left-associativity is generally the default interpretation of operators.

My search results on google now have 0.5px of added letter spacing and it's driving me crazy, it looks broken. It's definitely not from a browser extension, and it only happens when I'm logged in. A/B testing maybe, but I wish I could tell them I hate it.
Update: I just found the cable I thought I'd thrown out! (Yes, it did take me a year to discover this) xitter.cf/gb_r/status/1180804193…
Halogen 5 is out of release candidate status at last: discourse.purescript.org/t/h…. There's been no new code for a while, just there's a nice, new, fully up-to-date guide now!
Despite the many flaws in Netflix's browsing UI, I now realise it could be a far worse, having tried out Prime Video.
