how do you synthesize first part and get results like part2 and part3? part2 is slightly better as it consumes only 8 symbols vs 9 symbols even though both consumes only two lines.

Is this in excel? What is this?

what kind of job boards do y'all use? any non-clojure-specific ones?

Martynas Maciulevičius06:05:48

I misunderstood the question. I use this slack instance. Actually just opened http://jobs.braveclojure.com and I'm a bit overwhelmed.

Hi everyone, my name is Hoby, nice to meet you all. I'm learning how to program in the hope of switching career. My introduction to programming was through a book called How to Design Programs which was in Scheme. Then followed by a introduction to computer science in Python and Data Structures and Algorithms in Java. Now I'm doing a course specialization for web development (Node.js / React). The thing is I miss scheme, which I really liked, so I decided to look around if there was a language similar but was used outside of a classroom. That's how I found Clojure and Pact (a smart contract language used by Kadena). Now on to my questions: there a lot of openings in the main web stack if you're looking for a job even as a junior, and remote. How are the clojure stack jobs towards juniors? Are there any companies that would train people in their stack? I'm from a third world country so that would complicate things I guess. I'm not necessarily looking for a job now, but wondering if it's worth my time and effort to go all in on clojure? I love the language but if I can't get hired I wouldn't put much effort into it. Thanks a lot for reading, any input is valuable so don't hesitate to answer.

Hi. There's this article: https://jobs-blog.braveclojure.com/2022/03/24/long-term-clojure-benefits.html#these-clojure-companies-hire-people-without-clojure-experience Also, I'd recommend stopping by #jobs-discuss and searching for "junior" there, or "entry level", or "beginner" - you get the idea. Should be quite a few results.

@U03FVNJLX8R There are plenty of Clojure jobs around. Also keep an eye on #jobs - and just be open about where you stand, some people want to train people to learn Clojure.

Hi @U03FVNJLX8R I work for a company that uses Clojure in several products and we hire for remote positions, mainly in Latin America but not closed to other locations. I've hired people that don't know Clojure or are just getting started but are willing to put in the effort to learn.

@U2FRKM4TW thanks, I'll take a look.
