> CTE expression is an optimization fence in postgres, which is not the case in oracle.

generally not true since PG12

thanks, already am pretty skilled with it :) looking for something more niche for fun and ideas :)

I lift. After a while (overcoming critical amount of knowledge), I actually started to greatly enjoy it. Always looking to go to gym! Now I'm not super big or anything, but I have decent amount of muscle and am decently cut, and feel very good.

Scalajs easily

it actually has. Try to ask around some former workers of those projects.

Are you serious? Thats like saying that Haskell or C++ compiles to assembler so its same.

I spoke to some people about it and they said that it's over. That trading is no longer viable since it's saturated with bots. Can you point me to some direction, please?

Thanks, this lifted my spirits up a bit :)

Thank you. Now I have to figure out what it is :)

I always say that if I wasn't so good with computers I'd be a surgeon, haha. That was my #nr2 plan, if I fail in CS.

Actually I have. Both Elixir and Erlang. I find it way harder to manage in dynamic langs than in static ones. Up to point I'd always pick static instead of dynamic.

If I see some OOP madness, in statically typed lang, I remember how bad it can be in dynamic one.

Dont take it the wrong way. I know a lot of programmers, personally, which are dynamic programming fans, are and kickass coders. But it doesn't work for me.

that's actually good idea. I never considered negotiating this part. I thought if they pay me...

I've been called "programmer-whore" by friends (in joking manner :) ). Because I go in and fullfil wildest manager's dreams for money. Huh. Some truth to it I guess.

I hope that expression is not too vurglar to use here... sorry I'm not native English speaker.

I'm not saying it's language, but I can tell you that I enjoy working on X more than on Y.

I think code monkey is a bit pejorative, especially when programmers are critical to many businesses :)

You're onto something, perhaps there is little imposter syndrome, but I think that suggestions such as CTO are little bit off :)

Thanks. I'm actually buying a flat now, where all my savings go into. I plan to rent it up if I dont end up living there (moving for job etc.), since flat prices are going up and up drastically.

problem is, it is (will be) my problem to fix. I don't want to be hero, but I will get assigned to those places to fix it up. Because it worked before, and managers were happy with my work before.

perhaps. I'm contracting now though, so it's impossible. I thought that maybe if I get in -> fix/build stuff -> get out, it will be exciting enough.

My brother is quant physics PhD. Whenever I measure myself up to him, I realize it's good I didn't pursue academia because I'm not smart enough. It's insane how smart other people are.

I will definitely explore it. Thank you. That's a kickass suggestion.

This is what I came to realize as well, and it's what frustrates me. I have one of simplest job in the world (I see other people in other fields working so hard, for much less money), and I can't manage it because I'm so bored and frustrated). And that feeds back to even more frustration and unhappyness. I'd hope that I can find some meaningful job. At least something that makes sense a bit.

There's a lot of truth in what you write. Thanks. Problem is, I am extremely goal oriented person. I need a carrot in front of me to chase - that's what drives me and what makes me get up at bed. I used to do sports professional when I was younger, and I was always obsessive about wining, up to putting tremendous hours into it. My self-analysis, maybe completely wrong, is that I carried it into my adult life, but can't find nothing meaningful to compete in now.

Sounds great, but I'm in Europe :)

I have for little bit. But I don't think I'm smart enough for it. Is it big enough? I also don't see much job opportunities. I'm worried I'd just jump from something I like and enjoy (Functional programming) but can't find job in, into something similliar, that I won't be able to pay bills with.

I only hear of these 20yrs olds catching awesome bugs, and thinking that it's awesome for them, but it feels like I missed out on it a bit.

But it is good idea. To be honest I considered DBA... it seemed to be more sensible lol... I actually enjoyed working with Posgres, tuning it etc...

There is functional programming and "functional programming". Nowadays people would label anything as functional programming. I worked for many Scala teams, and everything is super functional, but truth is the opposite. Most of people don't know how for {} works in Scala or what functor is. Which is fine, no hard feelings, I didn't know about it either couple years back. But at least don't trademark your company as 100% functional codebase :/

I'm not in US, but Europe. Akka everywhere. If I have to debug one more akka spaghetti system I might as well switch to Node.js.

edit: I know/follow you and your work. Kudos for everything and doing functional Scala :)

edit2: I don't mean to insult Akka, it's great tool. It's just easy to misuse (like anything), and people misuse it a lot. At least from my experience.

That's actually great idea... How would I approach such companies, where do I look for them? Any literature, book, courses on it? Thanks

I've been told multiple times that people see me as a CTO later. Thing is, I'm still pretty young, and I call it usually bullshit. I'm nowhere near CTO. Maybe in 15 years.

I like to help, explain, prototype. Help understand frameworks etc.

You should Newtype it though. Type aliases aren't substitute for semantics. They are for to simplify naming of complicated types.

> Kotlin is much easier to read and understand than Scala.

No. It's not.

yes, several personal stuff, some internal facing business apps , and few public facing I did as contractor.

It's a whole different world than anything else in frontend. The libraries from scala are immense.

I am exactly in same situation and experiences with Scala.JS as you... my #1 choice atm.

Scala Play backend (because i know it most), ScalaJs and ScalaReact

yea perhaps. This is case where it's simple(r) to measure, but that's not always the case.
