This Week in Cats

Posted on March 25, 2021

As I mentioned last April, I ended up switching jobs and found myself in a Scala shop that embraced the Typelevel functional programming style. As I worked on tickets and shippped features, I started to deep dive into the cats library. Many of the concepts made my life easier and so I sarted to share them internally in a learning slack channel.

It then dawned on me that they might also be useful for others. As time permits, I'm going to clean up the slack posts and start a new series - This Week In Cats. It's probably a mistake to committing to a weekly post but that's the name of the series in slack.

Hopefully it proves useful to others as well.
