We had a pretty hectic evening last night at linkedin; seems like over 50 participants were there.
Talks:
- Dick Wall, genes manipulation in Java
- Dave Briscetti... if you ask me what it was about, I don't know, I was getting ready for my talk
- me, scaring people with scala implementation of small categories, including like limits and colimits etc, trying to explain why I chose my own implementation of (lazy) sets
- Harry Heymann talked about how foursquare works, showing the whole codebase (149 scala files, using scala lift, compiles in 88 seconds) - the only caveat is: don't use mysql, use postgresql

Then there was socializing, beer, blablabla... I liked it there

Foursquare is a cool and fast-moving startup in NY; if I were there I'd join them any moment; seems like there are at least 2 former googlers, probably more.

currently hiring scalars:
- Foursquare
- LinkedIn
- Twitter

Calling some json stuff from my android code, get "Stub!" exception; look into the class file inside the jar, yes, it contains that "Stub!" string - wtf?!
