Hmm hmm study the internals of Lumo maybe? Here's a question, would you be able to build non-actor based concurrency primitives like async's go blocks on a actor based erlang framework? (sorta shooting the shit here)

"their" jobs .. it was never theirs to begin with, mate

Sadly yes. It's been very frustrating at times. I thought of becoming an environment artist for videogames instead.

Though OP hasn't asked for the following here goes, I feel the IT field has a lot of people wanting to change career paths, more than any other field because of the following:

1. Programming is an art, if not done right and assuming the product is in continuous development, will come back to bite you in the rectum like there's no tomorrow.

2. 99 percent of the industry is about shoving products out without any care for proper architecture or refactoring of any sort. Result -> feature addition/ bug fix times grow exponentially with time.

3. The IT field has no concept of overtime pay

4. 1 + 2 + 3 => loads of burnt out devs :-> people wanting to switch jobs regardless of how high paying programming can be

sooo :: Foldable b => String -> (a -> Either a b)

People who say programming is boring belong to one or more of the following groups

- people who haven't explored the concept enough, which may be a symptom of a larger issue possibly and most likely the one below

- people who are just in for the money and are trying to convince themselves otherwise

- people who don't know how to use atomic concepts to make more interesting concepts because they lack creativity and imagination (whatever these terms in comp sci domain)

fast doubling for fibonacci is mentioned in sicp. Cheers for sicp

I wonder where did the list of startups come from? the info activity is being pulled from twitter, but as for the names of the startups?

I'd correct one thing. Instead of "If you’re a man: Respect women." to "Respect people."

diversity in tech is not a problem. The problem is tech attitude in these diverse groups.

man ... how is this on hacker news?
