morning

Bore da

I saw some fool had written a very long tutorial on Duct that was published yesterday. https://circleci.com/blog/build-a-clojure-web-app-using-duct/

Hello All

@agile_geek do you work at circle now?

@dominicm no. I'm a guest writer

Nice article - full disclosure I've only skimmed it, will read more deeply later on.

@maleghast it's a loooong article. It's hard to walk thru building something functional (if trivial) in a tutorial!

I could not agree more - one of the things I like about it on first flush is that it does not fall foul of my biggest gripe about Clojure tutorials; being over-simplified.

Of course that means I am going to need a good chunk of spare time to really digest it.

😉

@agile_geek this is really good...

BTW there's a part 2 and 3. Part 2 is written and in review/edit and part 3 is coded but I haven't written the text. They are less Clojure and more 'how to get ready for production and deploy'. Part 2 is dockerizing the app, part 3 is using terraform to stand up an ECS environment with loadbalancers et al to run the containers.

@maleghast <<does not fall foul of my biggest gripe about Clojure tutorials; being over-simplified>> You’ll hate all my blog posts then 🙂

I don't hate them at all, but I do find that a lot of Clojure "tutorials" are sparse and not really anything like Production applications.

I realise that this is a somewhat unreasonable criticism too, after all writing even a sparse, introduction type tutorial can take hours of effort and editing and I appreciate people taking the trouble at all, @jasonbell, I just long for deeper, more fully-formed articles / tutorials too 😉

(tho @maleghast is saying that you are a terrible person @jasonbell as long as that is clear. 😉 )

Hahahahahahaha

That’s fine @otfrom - as long as I know where I stand on the Clojure Blog Post Natural Selection list.

Naturally

(I'm really NOT, @jasonbell, but I think that you know that)

I know you don’t think I’m a terrible person @maleghast but it gives @otfrom the perfect excuse to deliver a line where he knows he’ll get a reaction. He’ll be grinning and rubbing his hands together like some past-it Bond villan. 🙂

LoL!

🙂

it is nice of you to call me a Bond villain tho Jade

Well I wasn’t going to call you Villanelle was I. That conversation could turn very odd very quick.

@otfrom I really hope that last comment was accompanied by a loud mwah ha ha

ooooooooh. I'd love to be Villanelle.

@jasonbell at least you know I won't be trying to kill you until after I start buying you clothes

Dunno you had a damn good go with the singing.

morning 👋

@jasonbell you love my singing. Your ears were only bleeding a little bit
