There are good things in programming, many of which are enumerated in this episode.

Among other nice things: the best features in Elixir. Lars won open source? Bots and realtime-y stuff. Not to mention a type system that screams at you.

Also: Lists in lists, in lists (in lists).

Code made by other people is not one of the things, however. Code made by other people is always upsetting. CSS does not make the list either, but Tailwind does, prompting a discussion of fractally difficult things, leaky abstractions, and progressive enhancement.

Linkable matter

IO-lists - lists in lists in lists with eventually some binary data in them

LiveView
Phoenix
Either in Haskell
Clowns to the Left of me, Jokers to the Right (the paper)
Stealers Wheel - Stuck in The Middle With You
Functors
Elm
Fmap and bind in Haskell
Lars' Telegram bots
Genserver
Moment.js
Autobots and Decepticons
Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson

Graceful degradation
Progressive enhancement

Better titles

Keeps giving nil
Carefully optimistically happy
A JSON-thingy
You won open source
I have written the code, and it's not my problem
Murdering your garbage collector
A type system that screams at me
The maybes I got over pretty quickly
They never stopped being results
An inherited Erlang footgun
The speaker that was in the monkey
It's not only that I'm a backend developer
