Essentially I give priority to what is used more. Spine always visible on shelf. Jacket interacted with and visible on display while playing. The vinyl itself is also interacted with and visible while spinning. Inner artwork nice on first opening but rarely looked at again. Custom sleeves ... Never

My importance:
1. Art on the outside of the jacket (spine especially)
2. Color of wax
3. Art inside bifold or inserts
-100. Custom Record Sleeves (Makes me feel guilty for resleeving in a more protective sleeve)

I believe that many politicians regardless of party line are corrupt. However I feel that a corrupt liberal politician charges you more for what you want and pockets the difference, while the corrupt conservative steals directly from your pocket, slaps you and then expects you to thank them for it.

Tim Tierney is a member of the Transit Commission and also the Transportation Committee. While we have to deal with the horrible traffic, it's his literal job to fix it. It is a bit odd, but most people don't actively post how bad they are at their job but you do you I guess.

Doing some shopping to be prepared for a possible apocalypse ... let's be honest, I know I'm not going to make it far, so I have to be prepared to leave as much useful information to whomever is the main character!

I am still being hyperbolic to try and stress the issue. I don't actually think that the majority of the community is "unenlightened" at all. But I genuinely did have a conversation with a developer who really did tell me that the reason he did things like that is because Dan Abramov said to.

You get a scenario whereby someone knows they should make "side-effect free pure functions" to represent reducers ... because @danabra.mov told them to do so in the Redux documentation... but why are they doing that? They don't know, they just trust in the fact golden one that is Dan Abramov said to

the Javascript designers. Both are creating elegant FP inspired interfaces that pretty much every single developer uses. Then the rest of the community is "unenlightened" and they only worship the golden ones who guide them but could never dream to be enlightened themselves...

I can see I am struggling to describe this, this has nothing to do with lines of code. It's about developers not having access to the basic building blocks that others do. This creates a weird "enlightened" class who are able to make elegant interfaces like the React maintainers or ...

So it's not about knowing what the library's functions do (going down an abstraction boundary) ... it's more like developers refusing to use the same tools for their own work that the library developers use to create the APIs they love to work with.

I agree, but this isn't a different level of abstraction though. This is more like a hyperbolic scenario where library developers create functions that you can call to do things. Developers will use these functions all over their code ... but then they completely refuse to write their own functions.

It's this that I am pointing out. The fact a developer cannot understand that you're allowed to pass a function as an argument to another function but then they'll completely litter their code with .map where they are passing functions around. They don't know the theory regardless of name

I've actually had to explain to a dev once that .map wasn't JavaScript syntax. That it really was just a regular old function that you pass an anonymous function to. Going so far as to write a toy implementation of .map to show them it was just plain functions...

My point isn't just that the devs don't know the terms. It's that they use the concepts without understanding them at all (by any name). Every dev I work with will use .map without hesitation, but often has no clue why .map or higher order functions are useful and how to make your own...

... useMemo is a hook that provides memoization which is a functional concept. It doesn't matter if the term is "memo" or "memoization" ... both are jargon terms that need to be understood. I would argue that there are many devs who misuse useMemo because they don't understand what it's purpose is..

me having to tell you to have your function return another function so that the resulting function can be passed somewhere else and when its called it will remember the values passed to the original invocation. That's a very wordy thing to have to say every time I want to express that common concept

The point of FP jargon isn't to gatekeep FP. It's to create a shared language to allow people to communicate complex topics to each other in an efficient manner. The term currying is so that when you and I both learn what it is. I can tell you to curry a function and you know what I mean without

Okay no OO. Unfortunately all programming regardless of paradigm is littered with jargon. conditional, function, iteration, operator, variable, expression ... all of these are terms that aren't inherently understood by someone starting programming. Jargon comes about because it's useful.

You aren't born with an inherent understanding of terms like "polymorphism", "inheritance" or "encapsulation" or the myriad of other jargon often used in OO style programming. Those are terms and language used to describe concepts that people use because they find it useful. Same goes in fp

All of programming is full of confusing language and terminology. Just the majority of people take for granted that everyone uses their specific subset of jargon. Using a term like "pure function" while being a functional term, encapsulates a lot of very useful concepts and is useful to understand.

Whats good? The "using of functional concepts" or the "inability to describe functional concepts"? I see the use of functional concepts as very good (of course I'm biased) but I find their inability to discuss what they are doing or why they are doing it to be more humorous than useful.

As someone who now does full-time TypeScript React development but only after learning React via Reagent in ClojureScript. One thing I find funny about the average React developer is how much functional programming they do without knowing any of the terminology or theory behind it.

Played Blue as a kid without an understanding of anything and pretty much beat everything with my Charmander starter. Only if I had to fight a water gym or something did I ever consider having a backup.
