Scratchpad for Clojure Coding Dojo

Welcome to the Clojure Coding Dojo

Programming-language syntax is a lot like politics: very few people do it for a living but virtually everyone has an opinion. And many have strong opinions.

Russ Olsen, "Getting Clojure", The Pragmatic Programmers (2018), p. 229

We wish you an open mind and an insightful evening!

Learnings and findings from a workshop

Last week I was lucky to be able to attend a workshop about “mob programming”, given by Woody Zuill. As somebody who considers himself “agile” (in the original sense of the word) and who is a proponent of extreme programming, I liked it a lot. In this article I’m sharing some of my findings and learnings.

Mob Programming

Simply put, it means that the entire team is working on a single computer, all together at the same time. As an outsider, you might see a few big screens next to each other, and team members sitting next to each other facing those screens. One person is behind the keyboard, and the others are looking at the screens. One of them seems to have a special role, because he is telling the person behind the keyboard what to do.

Notes on Stages of Expertise in Software

Stages of Mastery

Today a colleague sent me a link to the article ["The Seven Stages of Expertise in Software"][1] by Meilir Page-Jones. Very much worth reading! In what stage are you on "test driven development"? And on "pair programming"? And what about the other XP practices? I'm not asking you to answer me, but I am inviting you to try and give yourself an (honest) answer!

I would like to present three messages after reading this article. The first one is about how stage 5s and up teach people in stage 3. If you're in stage 3, you need told how to approach a situation. You
