Julia’s syntax for the most part is so satisfying. The community is an intellectual bunch that I learn from via a lot of lurking. And the direction Julia is headed in is quite exciting. I’m inspired by both types of package developments/initiations via any-sized collaborations, or even when one pers…

[image] Tamas_Papp: As a rule, very few companies have the culture to change to a new technology just because it is better (if your company is the exception, your boss would have been pressuring you already to try Julia, Rust, etc on pilot projects). What happens instead is that employees who c…

[image] foobar_lv2: So if you are the person doing the prototype, you can decide to do it in julia, smuggling the language in with whatever cool thing you’re doing. Ideally yes, but in practice not always. Scenarios that prevent this include devops refusing to support the language or the stac…

[image] Tamas_Papp: Scenarios that prevent this include devops refusing to support the language or the stack, the need to communicate with coworkers who did not write but need to understand the code (to port it to another language if it works out, etc), or company policy forbidding it, just beca…

[image] foobar_lv2: This is built into your salary and planned for: The workday also contains time spent socializing and coordinating with people, browsing the internet, some slacking off, some very productive stretches, and long debugging sessions. This was tough for me going to remote work.…

[image] foobar_lv2: Every so often, one needs a proof-of-concept. That is, a very small team (often single person) gets to write something new, very rapidly and quick-and-dirty, in order to learn and demonstrate whether something is reasonably possible and what the unexpected problems are. It is…

This is turning into a negative-energy venting space, sorry everyone. On my point about vectorisation mistakes: miss one, and sometimes MATLAB will parse it as valid, e.g. my colleague made an honest mistake in the following equation (a_old) whose value got used in reports given to customers, the d…

TMI warning. Okay, re-reading these last two posts of mine have had me prompted to sit down with my boss to have a serious discussion about this on the basis of my mental health. I believe my neurodivergent symptoms may be playing a larger part in my struggles than I’ve realised. I’ve been learning…

[image] kapple: I actually care about the language the proof-of-concept is in. Since you need to work with the code as an author. But my point is that your boss shouldn’t care – do a prototype in julia, then if successful port to whatever you’re using in prod (matlab? javascript? c++? brainfu…

Ah, thank you for clarifying, and sorry for misunderstanding you. In that sense I agree with you. I guess I jumped to my misunderstanding because my situation is different: my boss also works with us in scientific computing. He’s in the nitty gritty details of code deeper than I am. Simultaneously, …

I’m sorry that this post started to feel negative for you. For what it’s worth, I’ve been looking forward to new notifications from this thread because they have made me feel very validated. Thanks for making it! I hope your conversations with your boss work out.
