Rich Hickey on becoming a better developer

Rich Hickey • 3 years ago

Sorry, I have to disagree with the entire premise here.

A wide variety of experiences might lead to well-roundedness, but not to greatness, nor even goodness. By constantly switching from one thing to another you are always reaching above your comfort zone, yes, but doing so by resetting your skill and knowledge level to zero.

Mastery comes from a combination of at least several of the following:

	var faker = require('faker');

	module.exports = function() {
	var db = { promotions: [] };
	var total = 0;

	while (total < 30) {
	var title = faker.commerce.productName();

	db.promotions.push({

	;; -- mode: emacs-lisp --
	;; This file is loaded by Spacemacs at startup.
	;; It must be stored in your home directory.

	(defun dotspacemacs/layers ()
	"Configuration Layers declaration.
	You should not put any user code in this function besides modifying the variable
	values."
	(setq-default
	;; Base distribution to use. This is a layer contained in the directory

	(def init-state (atom {:title "Cycle!"}))

	(defn main []
	(let [{:keys [title]} @init-state
	dom-obs (-> Observable
	(.just title)
	(.map #(div (h3 (str %)))))]
	#js {:DOM dom-obs}))

	(run main #js {:DOM (makeDOMDriver "#app")})
