    RT @seejohnrun: As a long time Signals and Threads listener, I was really excited to have this opportunity to talk about the work our team has done over the past ~4 years. Hope you enjoy 😊

    Come for the agentic coding, stay for the discussion of QBasic, Ruby on Rails, and maintainability of large dynamically typed codebases.

    TIL some colleges are having Computer Science majors learn a programming language called Dr. Racket. I had never heard of this language until a recent interview lol

    I'm desperately curious to know what the 20% of me "doing my thing" consists of....

    Signals and Threads episodes are bangers, but this may be the first to become part of my PL course's "text". About 50% is a compressed version of my GC lectures, about 30% is modern updates, and 20% is @yminsky doing his thing w/ Stephen Dolan. (-:

    The OCaml module system is perfect for formal specifications of a module's implementation.

    A post about what our SP ("Strategy and Product") interns did. SPs are super-sharp generalists who dive into the financial and technical details to help us spin up new ideas and businesses. It's a great role!

    This is a fun post about an intern project this year that focused on improving Aria, our internal message bus and state-machine-replication system. A nice example about how interns get to do real, impactful work!

    Exciting stuff, coming to an OCaml near you...

    Big thing in PL: OxCaml style modes combine REALLY well with refinement types!

    RT @KentonVarda: Imagine if everyone who wanted The Winds of Winter to come out faster started just writing chapters themselves and sending them to George RR Martin and asking him to include them. That's what it's like being an open source maintainer right now.

    The Jane Street internship is over, and...boy did we go overboard! There's just so much going on, that we decided to do a jumbo edition of our "What the Interns Have Wrought" post, covering more than just the usual dev topics.

    In addition to regular dev interns, we covered: - ML Research and ML Engineering - Linux Engineering and IT - Strategy and Product (a kind of cross-functional, generalist role) - Trading Desk Operations Engineers

    One thing I appreciated about the post (and the many posts it links to) is the diversity of work that our interns get to do. And also, the real-world nature of the work. Interns get to do projects that really move the needle.

    This is a vision for the future of programming I'd be excited to see
    Jules Jacobs @JulesJacobs5
    @yminsky @dhh I'm hopeful that every module can come with a spec and dedicated educational material for understanding that spec and the important parts of its implementation.
