Book idea: "Programming for People Whose Programs Don't Need to Scale to Millions of Users or Billions of Transactions per Second." -- @jdeisenberg

honestly, in most books i read they come with a disclaimer like "obviously you would never do this in production..."

You should add "By example" for me thats the best way to see how the pieces fit together.

There's a bit of a disconnect between "horrible hacky shit i wrote that works on the weekend" and "Production ready UberService-9000-a-thon", I'm yet to find a proper overlap

hey, people! I just wrote an article about the new features of Javascript, ES8. Take a look and tell me what you think 😉 https://medium.com/@flaviohfreitas/es8-the-new-features-of-javascript-7506210a1a22

Anyone have opinions on Zipkin vs. Jaeger?

oh wow, ES8 is already a thing? is there gonna be a new version of JS every year? 😮

yes

they stopped calling it ES6 …

and prefer to call it ES$CURRENT_YEAR

e.g. ES2017

ES8 has leftPad built-in 😂 😂 😂

when you let memes guide your programming language design… 😐

proposition: js promises are a Crime Against Humanity. i'm just learning them, but it looks to me like they just add state to callbacks. i can't see what makes that a good thing. what am i missing? does it make any sense to use them in cljs code?

Can't speak for cljs code but promises make vanilla js asynchronous code a LOT more composable.
