An AI youtuber who explains papers has covered it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5aaXrIMWyU

Highly recommend.

Weird. I've never had IntelliJ give me sbt-related syntax errors incorrectly.

What's your problem with SBT? I've been using IntelliJ + SBT since I started with Scala and it has been working well for me.

On hiring: Python Paradox comes to mind (http://www.paulgraham.com/pypar.html). I've never met sub-par FPer or Scala programmer specifically. Using PHP or Javascript might give you a bigger top of the hiring funnel, but it doesn't mean you'll have easier time finding well-qualified applicant.

I have learned from an Amazon recruiter that it was a data-driven decision to focus on algorithms during interviews. Apparently, on average, it has worked the best for them than other ways of interviewing.

I think the state of despair is caused by companies copying practices from FAANGs without understanding the intricacies of why those practices are in place. To the point of asking a UX/UI dev to solve a DP problem.

> The last few books I read were mostly filled with fluff, anecdotes, stories, jokes, and trivialities. Even if I wanted to read books, I just don't know which ones I should start with, out of the 1000 "must-read" books in my reading list.

Lindy effect should help. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_Effect)

Start with classics. Or at least with books that have been out for a few years and are still talked about.

That's how I pick what to read.
