I can't take doing JS any more

staypufd18:10:03

clojuregeek18:10:38

i keep trying thinking ok ok ok maybe this time it will make sense

norman19:10:01

JavaScript allergies can be tough to deal with

clojuregeek19:10:48

for some reason i am helping ACC Bootcamp students learn Javscript.

clojuregeek19:10:54

they said you said you hate JS?

clojuregeek19:10:05

I said yeah, i must have done something bad in my previous life ...

clojuregeek19:10:24

i did some python for awhile

clojuregeek19:10:35

now i am convinced i only want ever and forever want to do clojure

clojuregeek19:10:54

i'm doing pythonish stuff at work

norman20:10:13

We definitely need some non-remote clojure work here in town

norman20:10:30

I found a nice use for spec the other day. I’m doing some elasticsearch 5 testing and made a spec for a few document types I’m working with. Then I can quickly generate some random documents to populate the db with.

norman20:10:03

Nothing fancy, but it was quick and easy, and it gave me a chance to finally do something on my own with it

clojuregeek20:10:05

anybody hear if Seranova landed anyone?

clojuregeek20:10:11

they wanted me to work there.. for low pay

norman20:10:23

I tried to keep in contact

norman20:10:24

But I’ve heard nothing.

norman20:10:35

I was hoping the meetup would be able to help them be successful here

clojuregeek21:10:21

have they ever come?

norman21:10:05

No, but I offered to support them outside of the meetup.

clojuregeek21:10:50

well.. last i talked to them ... they had only frontend poeple in austin and not to interested in learning clojure, well one guy was...

clojuregeek21:10:57

i was thinking of doing a workshop, anyone who wants to come ...maybe end of jan ?

norman22:10:51

That would be fun

clojuregeek22:10:08

we could use the same project as last time... a simple compojure app ... or ... can we think of something more interesting or different .. maybe get some repeat customers from the last class

clojuregeek22:10:28

i dont have Iron Yard or Devbootcamp to get freespace ... but could be we can do it at Conde Nast

clojuregeek22:10:45

what about ... clojurescript..

clojuregeek22:10:04

:thinking_face:

norman22:10:24

Yeah - Sam asked for that
