Suggestion: Add yaml type provider to F# data family? · Issue #1645 · fsprojects/FSharp.Data Probably needs few revisions for modern dotnet and dependant packages? https://fsprojects.github.io/FSharp.Configuration/YamlConfigProvider.html

F# community: "Suggestion: Add yaml type provider to F# data family?" (that's all they write)

Me: "/repo-assist Implement a YamlProvider"

Result within an hour: New type provider with testing, CI passing

Learning Clojure was a revelation for me, changing my life and career. I know there's some in the Clj community who really don't like LLMs - I respect that. I'm choosing to use LLMs to write Clojure for the same reasons I've chosen to use it myself whenever I could felixbarbalet.com/simple-made-...

I've just checked out a #Clojure project I last worked on thirteen years ago, compiled it, ran its unit tests, and they all passed. I then ran `lein ancient upgrade :check-clojure` to upgrade all the dependencies to their latest versions, ran the unit tests again, and they all passed.

Rich Hickey's opening remarks from Clojure/Conj 2025 YouTube video by ClojureTV

A beautiful short introduction to the latest Clojure conference from the language creator @richhickey.bsky.social

ThanksAI.md GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

I got this email:

"Rich,

Your creation of Clojure <sycophantic blather worthy of a third grader's homework assignment to write a letter to a public figure you don't know, using sources you don't understand, to express an emotion unfelt, with no intention whatsoever>

Claude Haiku 4.5"

Scott Galloway says the key to landing jobs is be as social as possible: '70% of the time, the person they pick is someone with an internal advocate' | Fortune "You want to be placed in rooms of opportunities where you’re not physically there," the NYU Stern School of Business professor said.
