speedrunning the bitter lesson, i see

but even if the context is big, the attention still has to sift through it

why is the "How" included here? it is often removed

mythical man month covered this

stop it

they haven't gotten on the road yet, so it remains to be seen

Think of Monad (and really the whole typeclassopedia in a way) like Iterable in Java

what does it gives you? for loops

what do the haskell things give you? various types of for loops. monads in particular have `do` which is a language construct. but the rest are just higher order functions that are specific types of `for` loops

you learn a handful of these and then all programs are the same. you can whisk together complex control flow across domains with the same few abstractions. you can hop into a library, see these type class instances, and know how to use the library.

stuff like that.

What meaningful stuff can you even measure though? The stuff you can measure is easily gamed and bad signal.

I help with my kid a lot, and I'm remote so I do it around the clock. I take contact naps, change every diaper, watch her for periods of time so my wife is free.

my wife doesn't work. and she didn't work before we had a baby. because one of our salaries was enough, so instead we work less. and again due to remote work, work has barely been top 5 in my life focus areas for the last decade.

You are by far the exception.

He might be the exception in your circles but there are many out there mimicking him, and it’s not only the Amish.

Out of close family and friends I only know of … three where they both work, and none have kids.

there's a lot of remote jobs out there

or were. tough out there rn.
