Many people still don't realize that Bitcoin is a universal store of value. Imagine what could happen to real estate prices if the need to buy new apartments simply as a store of value disappeared. #bitcoin #storeofvalue

Let's be real, opening a Java file after years of Scala is like entering a different dimension. Constructors, static elements, and builders are all over the place with no apparent order... It makes me appreciate how Scala seamlessly integrates these features into the language itself, making the code so much cleaner and easier to navigate. #java #scala #cleancode

The most important takeaway: Adopt value/opaque types in your Scala code, if you're not already using them. They're a zero-cost abstraction that drastically improves type safety and readability 💪 #ddd

Big bang rewrite or organic evolution? 🤔 Our team chose the latter for migrating to the braceless syntax and features of Scala 3. We'll refactor code incrementally as we work on it. Personally, I've fallen in love with the new syntax 😍 and can't wait for the changes to for-comprehensions and context bounds in Scala 3.6! #scala3 #refactoring

Technical debt is the #1 frustration for developers. Are you surprised? #technicaldebt

I hope there aren't that many codebases still stuck on Scala 2.12 (@twitter 😉), but if yours is, this is a great resource to read. While it focuses on Spark, honestly, anyone making the jump to 2.13 will find it incredibly useful. It covers everything from essential compiler options and helpful plugins to the subtle changes in the standard collections library. #scala #spark #migration

F# 9 introduces auto-generated "is" properties for "enums", enabling checks like .isPhone or .isEmail. While convenient, consider minimizing boolean usage in your code. Boolean logic is error-prone and difficult to read and maintain. Always use proper domain types (On/Off, Valid/Invalid, ...) together with pattern matching for improved readability and type safety. #fsharp #boolean #cleancode

Quick tip💡 The best way to learn Vim motions is by refactoring your code. Try moving a function and updating all its calls, renaming variables, moving code blocks, etc. The more you use them in real-world scenarios, the faster you'll become. #vim #coding

IntelliJ rocks! The new version of the Scala plugin is out, with support for named tuples, better recognition of opaque types, optimisations in compilation, and more. #scala3

While Kotlin offers improvements over Java, Scala's focus on immutability and functional programming can lead to more reliable and maintainable systems in the long run. It might be worth skipping the intermediary step and going straight to Scala for those benefits. #java #kotlin #scala @SoftwareMill
