Raf shares his journey from Kuwait to Canada and his passion for craftsmanship and pro-social behavior. Recia talks about her background in chemical engineering and thanks her parents for their sacrifice and hard work that inspired her top values of perseverance and compassion. Next thing ya know we’re discussing generational trauma and the potential benefits of suffering as a means of personal development (buddhism seems to be a theme this season huh?).</p> <p>Surprisingly, Recia's hobbies include making yogurt and baking bread from scratch, while (not so surprisingly) Raf enjoys playing role-playing games and DnD.</p> <p>Clojure Camp is a community-driven initiative that aims to help people learn and master the Clojure programming language. The founders, Jordan and Raf, along with one of their first learners now turned full time clojure dev Recia, share their personal experiences and motivations for getting involved. They discuss the evolution of Clojure Camp from a bi-weekly Zoom meeting to a more structured and supportive learning community on Discord. The founders emphasize the importance of accountability, emotional support, and shared learning in the learning process. They also highlight the positive impact Clojure Camp has had on their lives and the success stories of learners who have found programming jobs through the community.

<p>The conversation covers topics such as the rebranding of Clojure Camp, Arne's hometown, his travels around the world, his love for tea, the differences between Europe and the United States, and his interests in cooking and gardening. Jordan and Arne discuss their shared interest in circus arts, specifically juggling and flow state. They talk about the European Juggling Convention and the meditative and mental benefits of juggling. They also delve into the topic of Taoism and its influence on their lives, discussing the philosophy of going with the flow and finding natural ways of being. They touch on the importance of self-awareness, mindfulness, and the potential pitfalls of narcissistic spirituality. They also explore the similarities and differences between teaching and leadership, emphasizing the importance of empathy and vulnerability in both roles. <a href="https://2024.heartofclojure.eu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Heart of Clojure</a> is a community conference that aims to create a holistic and vibrant experience for software engineers. The conference focuses on deepening the understanding of working in the software industry and building software for the world. It draws inspiration from conferences like <a href="https://www.thestrangeloop.com/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Strange Loop</a> and the European Juggling Convention, incorporating activities, workshops, and interactive sessions alongside keynote talks. The organizers aim to create an intimate and inclusive atmosphere where attendees can come alive and explore different aspects of their identity beyond being software engineers. Heart of Clojure encourages open source contributors and maintainers to propose interactive sessions, workshops, and contributor onboarding activities. </p> <p><strong>The conference will take place on September 18-19, 2024, in Leuven, Belgium.</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Links:</strong></p> <p>Arne - <a href="https://github.com/plexus" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://github.com/plexus</a></p> <p>Heart of Clojure - <a href="https://2024.heartofclojure.eu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://2024.heartofclojure.eu/</a></p> <p>Overtone -<a href="https://github.com/overtone/overtone" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"> https://github.com/overtone/overtone</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong></p> <p>Arne, Belgium, Lambda Island, , Clojure Camp, gaiwan, travels, tea, Europe, United States, cooking, gardening, circus arts, juggling, flow state, European Juggling Convention, Taoism, self-awareness, mindfulness, narcissistic spirituality, teaching, leadership, empathy, vulnerability, Heart of Clojure, community conference, holistic experience, software industry, software engineers, activities, workshops, interactive sessions, keynote talks, open source contributors, contributor onboarding, Leuven, Belgium.</p>
