This is a short write-up on things that I wish I'd known and considered before joining a private company (aka startup, aka unicorn in some cases). I'm not trying to make the case that you should never join a private company, but the power imbalance between founder and employee is extreme, and that potential candidates would

You won’t find rants on how functional programming improves you, your sanity and your life overall here. There are some examples in the very beginning to save you some time on reading the whole post, just come along if you don’t like how they look like.
By the way, this is not even a blog, so formally this is not even a blog post. This is not a library or a new paradigm. It’s just a few pieces of code that might come handy for your daily job.
Example:
[1, 3.14, -4].map &_.safe{ magnitude odd? } # => [true, nil, false]
No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.
Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.
NOTE: This guide has moved to https://github.com/bpierre/switch-to-vim-for-good
This guide is coming from an email I used to send to newcomers to Vim. It is not intended to be a complete guide, it is about how I switched myself.
My decision to switch to Vim has been made a long time ago. Coming from TextMate 1, I wanted to learn an editor that is Open Source (so I don’t lose my time learning a tool that can be killed), cross platform (so I can use it everywhere), and powerful enough (so I won’t regret TextMate). For these reasons, Vim has always been the editor I wanted to learn, but it took me several years before I did it in a way that works for me. I tried to switch progressively, using the Janus Vim distribution for a few months, then got back to using TextMate 2 for a time, waiting for the next attempt… here is what finally worked for me.

You got your hands on some data that was leaked from a social network and you want to help the poor people.
Luckily you know a government service to automatically block a list of credit cards.
The service is a little old school though and you have to upload a CSV file in the exact format. The upload fails if the CSV file contains invalid data.
The CSV files should have two columns, Name and Credit Card. Also, it must be named after the following pattern:
YYYYMMDD.csv.

With the scarecity of IPv4 addresses, and IPv6 still not available at large, NAT traversal is becoming a necessity. Especially with the generalisation of Carrier-grade NATs that you can find on mobile connections. Even with IPv6 you may suffer NAT66. Imagine your mobile device that gets only a single Ipv6 address, and you want to share it on your computer.
The solution might be in a decentralized protocol for address attribution such
