Rich Hickey on becoming a better developer

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:

• Knowledge
• Focus

The Pledge

One thing that always made me a little sad about transducers was how map lost its ability to iterate multiple collections in parallel. This is actually my favorite feature of map. For example:

(map + (range 5) (range 5 10))
=> (5 7 9 11 13)

One somewhat practical use of this is if you want to compare two sequences, pairwise, using a comparator. Though I wish that every? took multiple collections, this is an adequate substitute:

{
  systemd.user.services.emacs = {
    description                 = "Emacs: the extensible, self-documenting text editor";

    serviceConfig               = {
      Type      = "forking";
      # ExecStart = "${bigEmacs}/bin/emacs --daemon";
      # Running Emacs this way ensures environment variable are accessible:
      ExecStart = "${pkgs.bash}/bin/bash -c 'source ${config.system.build.setEnvironment}; exec ${bigEmacs}/bin/emacs --daemon'";
      ExecStop  = "${bigEmacs}/bin/emacsclient --eval (kill-emacs)";
