🤡 First ever “Clouncil” Episode - “The Best and Worst Ways to Learn Clojure” https://youtu.be/2WsEy1hl5kE

Summary

Origin stories, personal values, and surprising hobbies! Raf shares his journey from Kuwait to Canada and his passion for craftsmanship and pro-social behavior. Recia talks about her background in chemical engineering and thanks her parents for their sacrifice and hard work that inspired her top values of perseverance and compassion. Next thing ya know we’re discussing generational trauma and the potential benefits of suffering as a means of personal development (buddhism seems to be a theme this season huh?).

Surprisingly, Recia's hobbies include making yogurt and baking bread from scratch, while (not so surprisingly) Raf enjoys playing role-playing games and DnD.

Clojure Camp is a community-driven initiative that aims to help people learn and master the Clojure programming language. The founders, Jordan and Raf, along with one of their first learners now turned full time clojure dev Recia, share their personal experiences and motivations for getting involved. They discuss the evolution of Clojure Camp from a bi-weekly Zoom meeting to a more structured and supportive learning community on Discord. The founders emphasize the importance of accountability, emotional support, and shared learning in the learning process. They also highlight the positive impact Clojure Camp has had on their lives and the success stories of learners who have found programming jobs through the community. Tune in in two weeks for part II !

We talkin mentorship, music!, web-development, react native with Krell vs reactjs, tailwind, how to use STORYBOOK to quickly dev components, the experiences of working at vouch.io and so much more!! Enjoy!!!

:Kira-McLean (Digital Nomad)

Season 1 · Episode 6

Wednesday, November 17, 2021 • Duration 55:40

In one of my favorite ways to find people, I (well, Ray from Defn Podcast) came across Kira sharing some clojure lovin thoughts on that little bird app. Hear our soothing voices talk a little bit of shit on javascript, a lot a bit a shit on ego driven development, the importance of work life balance, how to pull off digital nomad life, spec, testing and so much more! This episode was initially recorded a month or two ago (hey post processing is hard!) so fair warning some of the covid related thoughts are a bit out of date.

Find Kira on that bird app: https://twitter.com/kiraemclean

Ray too! https://twitter.com/raymcdermott plus check out the defn podcast https://twitter.com/defnpodcast

Catch Kira giving a workshop as a part of the re:clojure series!

Season 1 · Episode 5

Friday, October 29, 2021 • Duration 01:41:33

YASSS, MY MAN! This is one for the history books, my friends. I got to chat with one of my favorite clojureverse role models of all time: Eric Normand!!

We hear about his new book titled "Grokking Simplicity" published by Manning (discount codes below!!).
We hear a little about his life and personal history in regards to how he got into creating instructional content (peace core? COOL!)
He shares his thoughts illustrating key concepts that will help you to be a wise architect while planning out and developing a software project.
Questions regarding asynchronous logic, mutable data (don't be scared my peeps)
We discuss how to uncover the "universal truths" in your code base so you can write better code.
We get to the bottom of the meaning of "domain driven development" and how to compares it to a more data oriented approach.

Personally, I credit his instructional work with the basis of my entry into the clojureverse, and I know I'm not the only one. ENJOY!

Season 1 · Episode 4

Hey Friends, its been a minute! I produced this episode on the road, just in time for StrangeLoop! (which was an amazing time!) Thank you to Daniel Glauser who was a heckin great guest host to help me create this masterpiece.

I love acting as a platform for other people's awesome ideas and words but in this episode we get to know me a little bit more intimately as use this opportunity to speak my mind about some of the gender issues facing our industry. I promise, it's actually a really fun time :) Some things we are thinking about:

How do we get more diversity into the tech world?

How do we encourage these valuable groups of people to trickle into some of the more "niche" sections of tech?

How can having these different perspectives add to your team?

I don't pretend to have all the answers but starting the conversation is the first step, wouldn't you say?
