Maybe I'm grumpy and old or something, but I wish there was only one Component library for Clojure, out of all the things this should have been the one everyone settled on.
In my experience it was as simple as connecting to AWS and tagging resources in Terraform. I got it all done in around 3 weeks. So maybe yes, if somebody doesn’t know about SOC2 then Vanta might be getting in the way but it in my case it literally solved all my problems in a month or so
My company had 6 employees, I was the CTO and I can't imagine getting SOC2 certified without using Vanta - that was back in their early access/beta days.
I had no choice - we had so many security assessments spreadsheets sent by potential customers, that getting SOC2 saved us time in the long run.
I don't remember the exact situation, but I think this relates to this:
Clojure core was sent a set of patches that were supposed to improve performance of immutable data structures but were provided without much consideration of the bigger picture or over optimized for a specific use case.
It's doable but you need a lot, and I mean a lot of documentation proving that you are indeed an alien with extraordinary ability. Any press mentions of you and your company, articles, proof that you're working with known companies in the US and more evidence like that will increase your chance.
In fact I worked with Peter on obtaining an O1 while not having a degree, I was a CTO of a startup, moving from the UK.
Most of the time I have 4 or 6 buffers visible at once, including the REPL and files I’m editing - and that’s when I’m working on “one thing”, having packages like transpose frame or ace-window makes this type of workflow much easier
I’d would disagree - I had the exact experience that the autor described. But you are right on this point
> it’s entirely possible to build that intoxicating environment anywhere. It’s more about having a dynamic leader who assembles teams into collections of individuals who know precisely why they are there
I still think it’s related to size and bad incentives. I heard stories of people at FAANG that said that department X is like a startup but Y is soul sucking boredom
