#39 - Cult member echo chamber FTW with Dmitri Sotnikov aka @yogthos by defn

We run underwater before surfacing with Valentin as he heads off to Hammock Mountain for some climbing and cogitation.

It's a miserable life but made tolerable for some of us with CIDER. We skip gaily through a mire of existential woes and somehow feel better for it afterwards. We hope you enjoy the therapy as much as we did.

# 36 The Tao of Peter aka @ptaoussanis by defn

Heller woke podcast where Thomas cuts a sharp silhouette while discussing his work on the awesome shadow-cljs

Mike tells us how ClojureScript has finally steered him towards a decent replacement for Flash. There are many pearls of wisdom from the reframe supremo including his insights on documentation and we could listen forever to his views on finite state machines.
