I really liked this. I’ve not tried jolt (yet!) but it sounds like a good fit for using Clojure on something like Heroku without worrying about the mismatch between the JVM and resource constrained environments.
I also enjoyed the writing style a great deal.

I agree with this. I feel like there’s a false dichotomy right now in a lot of these discussions where one can only vibe code or only code by hand. It is possible to do both…

This framing of it being a tool that you find indispensable as an individual is important. I’m not interested in debating static vs dynamic types, or vim vs emacs, etc. If it works for you, then that’s great!
But the difference with LLMs currently - I guess? - is that non-engineers are pushing the idea that it’s universally indispensable at scale. I think it leads to a lot of emotion bleeding into the debate.

Nvidia drivers leave a bit to be desired on Linux imo. I’ve got an all AMD HTPC right now and bazzite is terrific.

You can expose a REPL socket from a running clojure instance in whatever environment you choose. Biff has this as a marketed feature, described on this page: https://biffweb.com/docs/reference/production/

Absolutely. I had imagined green hydrogen production or something similarly intensive to be the solution.

Reminds me of the Rich Hickey post Open Source is Not About You.

Your recent post on using datastar with SSE to power game of life [1] was excellent. Thanks for writing it!

I had my own company previously and I found it hard to detangle that commercial mindset from hobby coding. I’m employed now and find it much easier to code purely for fun.
If I played guitar professionally then I’d probably find it hard to not think about new pieces in the context of a gig-worthy repertoire.

This matches well with my experience so far. It’s why the chat interface has remained my preference over autocomplete in an IDE.

I would have thought https://adonisjs.com/ was the equivalent? I've not used next.js for a few years but it doesn't seem to have an answer for anything on the back-end except rendering. That only covers a tiny part of what frameworks like Spring or ASP.NET offer.
