Why learning Haskell/Python makes you a worse programmer

Epic programmer fail #12: wants to optimize for write spead, not for review speed.

As an employer and an engineering lead, I really don't care about how hard it is for you to type a little more if it means other people can read and understand your code faster. You are not what we are optimizing.

Assuming everyone wants to use every feature of every obscure language you love is a fail. It's the same fail I've heard over and over from the lisp people for 20+ years.

This always makes me smile. He comes so close to realizing the truth about C#, but he stops just short of connecting those dots.

You are soooooo smart!
