Getting into Haskell because I was bored and assumed doing Haskell would be far more interesting. And that code would be much better written in Haskell, almost perfect because it is math based.
Haskell is amazingly interesting but very hard. There are few companies using it and the one that did in my city got taken over and usual management shenanigans. I didn’t get a job with them.
Haskell meet ups went over my head and I couldn’t keep up. Didn’t have the time to play catch up with the talented people in this scene.
Realized writing software is an artform, no language necessary makes it better and more fun. Appreciate the common languages more like C# Python and Go.
Haskell has great ideas but there is value in designed language with language features over making everything in the higher type systems.
So in short humbled into realizing what makes good software is more than using clever languages.
If I rephrased the OP as “give the half eaten restaurant leftovers to be used as school lunches” people would say that is horrible but somehow OK for homeless people?
I think almost all business people earned their stripes as employee. SV and furthermore SV stereotypes are very unusual in their young founders. Nothing against young founders though! Just saying it ain’t common. Family business being the exception (but that quacks like employment then business ownership later)
I like the intent but homeless people deserve better. Just make them meals from scratch like everyone else eats. And keep taking your doggy bag home. A $1 doggie bag “corkage” that goes to a homeless food operation would be better IMO.
