Speaker: *Ewa Trzemżalska*
Slides: pitch.com/publ...
Ewa Trzemżalska ( / ewatrzemzalska ) will be presenting:
"Clojure? That's a terrible idea!"
Ewa will be telling us her history of starting a career in programming
in Clojure, despite the fact that everyone told her not to. Come and
hear about the struggles, where Clojure shines and where things still
need to improve.
Ewa is a Backend Engineer, currently working at LiveKid - her second
full-time job. She started her career in Clojure and is very excited
about the language and its community.

This was a great talk. We need more people learning to program through Clojure, that's the biggest driver for better documentation, tutorials and features that makes programming in clojure more friendly

Completely agree, the community needs to contribute more resources for Clojure as a first language

My first take away is that you are a self motivated person who is internally organized and directed. My second take away is that you do not give up as easily as many do. My final take away is that you value learning and growing. All in all, I think you are likely to accomplish a lot, if you put your mind to it. This is far more important to your success than learning Clojure. Keep that same attitude with everything you do and life will reward you with far more opportunities than the average person. And congratulations!

I can relate as a woman in Clojure who got her first job as a Clojure dev in the field straight out of high achool, especially with the idea that it's not that hard to find Clojure jobs but you do need to be patient. I think I had at least a couple weeks where I heard back from almost no one and then suddenly started hearing back from multiple companies.

This is a really, really great talk! Entertaining, engaging, inspiring, and with some good takeaways both for others trying to get into this field and for the Clojure community to make it easier for new developers to get up to speed. Thank you!

I can relate so much to most of the things Ewa mentioned. I've also been thinking about learning Clojure, but have been pretty scared to start because of the lack of job opportunities for Junior Devs (like myself). Today I woke up thinking I would give it a go anyway, and in my search for related videos I came across this one, which seems like the confirmation I needed to finally do it :D Great talk!

You are born to be a programmer! The passion you have is a scarcity amongst the self proclaimed programmers. If someone has such a drive, aiding them to learn Clojure is a cakewalk :)

Ewa has such a great personality and I really enjoyed the talk. I never get enough from listening to aspiring developers on their journey in the tech industry. It was truly eye-opening and inspiring.

I always had a feeling that I’m to chaotic deciding which programming language to make my life. Especially when had not succeeded anywhere. But this store realky inspired me

I can relate to this so much it's actually painful, but I'm sincerely thankful that it was elucidated so well. If I could go back in time 5 years and pick a different language, I'm fairly certain I would be employed by now, but I honestly don't know if I would change anything because the value of what I've learned from being a part of the Clojure community is immeasurable. Even if I were to start all over with something else, I'd be a much better programmer simply from going down this path. But every time I try switching languages to get a job faster, something ends up pulling me back! (It's probably that darn REPL... why does it have to be so good?...) I read somewhere that the average experience of a Clojure developer is 10 years... so that means I'm likely halfway there. Wouldn't make sense to turn back now! I love how you highlighted the *value* of juniors - I believe that a team is truly sustainable when it consists of a diversity of experience levels. I really hope we can get there as a community.

I’ve toyed with Lisp language’s since college. I can see why people become infatuated with it. But I do not believe I could ever code in it as fast as I can in pretty much every “normal” language that currently exists. Clojure has the benefit of being interoperable with Java. That is the only thing that makes it feasible.

Very nice presentation. I would agree that the step-up/step-in to Clojure is not as mature as it could be.

can someone explain to me how do you get fixated on clojure when you havent used react, python or even javascript before? :D
@blu3h4t
@blu3h4t 7 месяцев назад
omg lol she tought she would find a job easier in python than clojure, this is like saying i wanted to be a formula one driver but i then i decided no lets first try drifting, that should be easier :D

This is sad. What a pile of garbage these languages and environments that we created. I'm sorry for the juniors out there, it didn't have to be this way and it's all our fault, the "seniors" who have no clue.
