#reclojure2025 was a resounding success, and thanks go out to everyone who pitched in!

We should have the first videos out by next week on the London Clojurians YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@LondonClojurians), and we'll stagger the release of the videos to about 2 every week.

Hi friends, I need your help. My contract just got caught in a round of layoffs, so I'm open for short/medium-term fullstack work: Clojure, Rails, React, etc. If you know anyone looking for a senior dev who can ship fast, I'd love to hear about it.

My LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/goshatch
Thank you! 🙏

A photograph is meant to be experienced rather than interpreted. Susan Sontag makes that arguments in a book called "Against Interpretation". I agree, but interpretation has its purpose, too. In some contexts, it is unavoidable. As long as you let someone else do the talking.

Sean Tucker's new video Is your Photography any Good? is an excellent take on self-assessment, something that many aspiring photographers struggle with. His answer is structured by three words: intentionality, consistency and originality.

Photographers who approach Susan Sontag's On photography with the idea that it will teach them the art of photography are bound to be disappointed. Susan Sontag's On photography is not about photography at all, but rather about society and the ramifications of mechanical reproduction.

The specifics of the spring festival rituals in rural China may vary from village to village, and they are rarely documented. No wonder, thus, that LLMs cannot pinpoint their nature. Nevertheless, the critique offered by René picks up on the intrinsic qualities of the image.

There are no easy answers to come by in art. Extending a critique is as delicate a matter as receiving it. A critique is one possible interpretation of a work. It is never true or false. What matters is what one does with it, that is to say, how one listens to it. ai.tuppu.net

Hi, my name is René and I will critique your photos, one or multiple at the time. I can help you pick the best version of similar photos, or critique a thematic series. You can follow up with any question and I will be happy to oblige.

Southern China has strong traditions that emerge fully during Spring festival. I took this shot in Haikou, and asked René to offer his critique. René will critique your photography at ai.tuppu.net

Some photographs lean heavier on a promise than a realization. René picked that up in his critique. Sometimes, shooting conditions are harsh.
René generated the critique of that photo, but also the video that you're watching, with the voice-over and the subtitles. ai.tuppu.net

As creators, we all know the craving for validation and the self-doubt that creeps in every so often. Is this an essential byproduct of the creative process? Is it conceivable to see technology inviting itself in the monologue we conduct in our minds?

Today is my birthday and I would like to invite you, yes you, to the Haikou Diaries, an artistic project around the south of China. It is an ongoing photographic diary from my extended stays in the region mixing the cultural, the personal and the supernatural.

In case any of my colleagues in the Clojure community think data-driven software design is a new idea.

So, ‘Elements of Clojure’ is now free.

Before it went free, I had only ever read the preview, and liked it; but never really got to digging deeper.

Now I’m halfway through – and already feel profoundly enlightened. Can I still pay for it? @ztellman.ideolalia.com do you accept donations?

nREPL is language agnostic by design and it has proven itself useful beyond Clojure and Emacs in multiple instances.
The protocol is at the center of a DevEx effort led by @abcdw for Guile Schemers.
Reuse of tooling + improvements in REPL experience.

Here is another release in my peripatetic video series.

This time we are walking under the Tropics, discussing how text decoration is handled in the Bluesky API. This is not a tutorial but rather an exposition of the problem. I advocate for a recursive solution à la Scheme.
