Rich Hickey on becoming a better developer

Rich Hickey • 3 years ago

Sorry, I have to disagree with the entire premise here.

A wide variety of experiences might lead to well-roundedness, but not to greatness, nor even goodness. By constantly switching from one thing to another you are always reaching above your comfort zone, yes, but doing so by resetting your skill and knowledge level to zero.

Mastery comes from a combination of at least several of the following:

In response to this reddit post about failing to understand the Pipes library after a couple of hours. I wanted to show how an experienced haskeller does it, but I'm afraid it also took me quite a few hours, which is why the following list of steps goes on and on.

After all those hours, my opinion is that Pipes is not at all an easy library. I don't know if Conduit is any easier, but otherwise I side with your friend in advising to use something else (perhaps ordinary lazy IO?) instead of Pipes.

Anyway, here is the full brain dump of my steps as I tried to get your three snippets to fit together.

• Since you say that you have a hard time combining the snippets, I assume that they must have complicated types. So my first goal is to figure out the type of your first snippet.
• hoogle for parseUrl, withManager, etc. No results.
• Google for haskell runEffect, find that it's a method from Pipes.Core,

# This is sp, the command-line Spotify controller. It talks to a running

#
# Put differently, it allows you to control Spotify without leaving the comfort
# of your command line, and without a custom client or Premium subscription.
