So, I've been using Emacs (spacemacs specifically) for years and I LOVE it.

But I am extremely confident there is something magical about @CursiveIDE that would change the way I work in #clojure and #Clojurescript if I made time to learn it.

I would like to use 💵 to fix this
I've seen the impact that @nateliason, @fortelabs and others course creators have had on power and value that folks get from @RoamResearch, and I've come to believe these cohort style courses can have very high ROI and ROA (return on attention), for both students and instructors.
It seems like a no brainer to me to pay $500 to @colinfleming or someone he endorses for a 4-6 week, one hour per week "course" on @CursiveIDE - and If it had 30% as much value as I expect It'll have, I'd recommend all our engineers through.

Am I alone in thinking like this?
Is this already a thing?

I feel like there is huge opportunity in these cohort courses for more niche, but also possibly higher leverage skills, and the recordings can pretty easily be turned into either marketing material or a cheaper self-paced course on @teachable
Is anyone doing these in #Clojure world.

I see mass market intro courses, and one off workshops like Day of Datomic (which always seemed sold out).

What's going on? Am I crazy here?

What is your internal experience when silently "thinking"?

If other - please reply. Realizing my internal experience might be less common than had previously thought and in surprising ways.
If combination
Another followup - what happens as you think

Do your thoughts naturally get more clear as you put more time into silent thinking?

Or do you need to externalize somehow before progress can be made?

Every time I've posted a job for @RoamResearch publicly this year, we've had huge flood of applicants and its been overwhelming to try to parse signal from noise.

Sense there were strong candidates from unconventional backgrounds we were passing up.

Trying something new.
First - for UI engineer

we are a Clojure/Clojurescript shop, so you do need to have proficiency there, and show you know best practices, but you do not need to have professional experience.

Instead send github repo + link to a demo for the 7Guis

eugenkiss.github.io/7guis/
Ability to solve those 7 problems is currently minimum standard for engineering team. Strong preference you use Reagent - and no other libs, but only requirement is that solutions are CLJS

Have seen strong JS devs learning CLJS for first time solve all 7 in under 12 hours.

Things that remind me of @RoamResearch

If the temporary fix works for 4 years - counts as a permanent fix.

Thinking about how trauma can cause one to be more independently minded.

When I was much younger, had a number of pretty terrible experiences where I ignored my gut, and listened to the people around me.

Have noticed that I get extremely distressed when similar feelings come up
One I'll share

As a teen, was sledding with my girlfriend of the time, her friend, and my kid brother.

Paid some 20 somethings to buy us liquor, and after they got it, they invited us to their house.

Thought it was terrible idea, but girlfriend and her friend wanted to go....
Ignored the feeling of dread, and went along with the group. Drove us over.

An hour or so later, we were hanging out at their house, and their pitbull bit my brother in the face.

Required dozens of stitches, plastic surgery...

1cm to the right, and he'd have lost his eye.

I hate the general idea of it, but if it was just me calling people unexpectedly when I'd been up for more than 36 hours...
