When I watched a world class software engineer build a real time data processing platform using only functional programming.

At a major company, over ten teams were automated in a year.

Beautiful and useful abstractions around data and data processing tasks that provided extreme value.

I could never replicate it, but it reminded me about the power of software and the extreme ability that some have to weird it.

If someone is given the freedom to think and apply it can be amazing. Most companies don’t support this though. This was my experience early on in my career - hardly anyone wants to let coders think, instead it’s about fitting in to the processes. Not saying I’m that clever just common sense stuff. Like err let’s not get 3 people to simultaneously build 3 similar screens in the app.
