Morning from the tube

gjnoonan07:06:27

It’s still morning 😮 I’ve been working for hours

@gjnoonan: I was looking at toy Clojure projects at 6:30am before work does that count?

agile_geek07:06:29

Been reviewing Java code this morning and got on my ‘soap box’ about inappropriate application of design patterns and over engineering a solution. Thought struck me that I’m sure my naive Clojure code falls into many of these traps but I don’t have a go-to text for design patterns! Anyone make any suggestions?

(I'm always surpised when people don't know about the Portland Patterns Repository and the birthplace of the wiki)

@gjnoonan: got both of those on my bookshelf (GoF since mid 90’s I think).

@otfrom: I was trained as a mainframe programmer mate, wiki’s didn’t exist when I went to Uni and I am self taught (languages, patterns, process, you name it!) since then so bound to have missed stuff! Looks like what I need to read tho. Given I’ve been looking around for this kind of thing for 18 months surprised I didn’t find it sooner!

otfrom08:06:11

going back to 1995 isn't bad, but yeah, you are really old @agile_geek

agile_geek08:06:54

@otfrom go back another 10 years! 😉

otfrom08:06:06

so if you are going to hold on to half of your moniker... 😉

@otfrom: happy to be just a 'geek'. Anyway, I took Lean approach to Agile and learned and applied what i needed to to get job done. :-p

I check my nrepl server buffer so much with Cider, considering a keybinding to take me there quickly
