Morning. Such a day of preparing stuff. Making a 7.5 minutes company presentation for students at NTNU (a uni in Norway) and preparing for a Clojure episode on “Utviklerpodden” https://pod.space/utviklerpodden

@slipset “Rich Hickey propaganda” 😁

These are my private notes, might express myself differently on the podcast 🙂

Private means something different to me :thinking_face:

😜

slipset09:08:17

Oh, as in private, only for me and the ones that I share them with. I will most likely share the links, but probably not with a subsection called “Rich Hickey Propaganda” 🙂

dominicm09:08:32

I wonder if there's a way to make Clojure sound more like a cult? Hmmm...

dominicm09:08:14

"Join the Hickey family today!"?

djm09:08:20

A former colleague said that she thinks Clojure is a cult 😂

Yup, I’ve experienced the same thing. He was a manager who overheard some of us talking over coffee and cake about how best to find another Clojure job because Clojure was so amazing (but the place we were working decidedly less so) and he remarked that we sounded like a cult.

dominicm09:08:17

Yeah I've definitely heard that.

dominicm09:08:23

I think we should embrace it.

dominicm09:08:37

Cults aren't self aware though, they're all about true belief in something.

https://archive.attn.com/stories/7910/how-to-tell-if-someone-you-know-is-in-a-cult I might be taking this task a little too seriously…

dominicm09:08:41

https://informationparlour.com/ways-to-know-and-identify-a-cult-member-or-cultist/ ah, we need a handshake. Obviously with times being what they are, it's not exactly a good time for a handshake. How about we carry foam parens and bump them against each other in some way?

dominicm09:08:00

https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2014/06/the-seven-signs-youre-in-a-cult/361400/ OK, this is very detailed. Apparently we must start shunning individuals as punishment. Maybe some regular meetings with some leadership figures. Does apropos count?

Good morning, fellow cultists!
