It’s pivotal to have a deliberate and thought through system for communication when you’re into cross functional collaboration. Such as between product and analytics teams. To have a shared chat platform for everyone in an organization should go without saying these days. Like Slack, Discord, Teams or something else. Still, I know there are workplaces where people lack an appropriate chat tool for one reason or another. Or, where the chat is used for limited conversations, or only inside one’s team.

The following is my report for the May - June, 2023 period of Clojurists Together long term sponsoring. As usual, the bulk of my open source energy is poured into Calva, a Clojure/ClojureScript/ClojureCLR/ClojureDart/Babashka/nbb/Joyride/etcetera development environment that takes Interactive Programming seriously. I also got to contribute to Clojure related starter projects + was interviewed for Flexiana’s new Clojure Corner series: Clojure Corner with Peter Strömberg Calva Over at Twitter someone asked me if I was up to something exciting.

Since we’re heavily dependent on each other to succeed with our work, it’s important to do something about it. The principle “Go See” is one thing I’ve had good experience with, when it comes to increasing collaboration between different teams or parts of an organization.

Clojure reaches wherever I want to code something. For shell scripting it is a great choice because Babashka. By old habit I still often start out with bash. I paste a piece of my command line history in a file and go from there. Then when my script stops behaving like I intend it to, and resists my attempts to make it: I regret not doing it with Babashka.

This article describes how the project is set up. Surprisingly little glue was needed once David Miller had created clr.tools.nrepl (a few weeks ago). There is no dependency tooling for ClojureCLR yet (it’s being worked on) so we have to solve a few things ourselves.

I had almost completed my online foundational training program in Data Science and without thinking too much, I reached out to some people in my close network. I mentioned that I’m learning to code again and that I was open for an internship in an analytics team.

At that point in life, a single parent with two kids and all, there wasn’t really any space to follow up on that idea. Though I more often was responsible for data analytics and BI products, and working closer together with analysts and data scientists.

User space as in “a user of VS Code”, to contrast with “a developer of VS Code extensions”. The imaginary jail being that I thought some extensibility cases are closed to Joyride and need an extension to be implemented. It is not so!

Viktor E. Frankl says: "Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” Empathy @ Work workshop is focused on exploring what happens in that space and to learn to regain the consciousness of the choice we always have. The space is where we can explore what is truly true, what is happening within me - learning to connect to self and to listen to oneself to understand what is important to us and what drives us forward.
