About this listen

In this episode we cover "Locked doors, headaches, and intellectual need" by Max Kreminski. This article outlines the concept of problem-solution ordering issues and how they are the reason no one understands monads. We soon realize these problem-solution ordering issues are everywhere, and figuring them out is the key to true teaching.

Here's the article Joe mentioned that does a way better job of explaining monads than he did: Functors, Applicatives, and Monads in Pictures.

We decided to cover this article based on a wonderful user comment by @cebamps (gently) calling us out for our flippant take on functional programmers. Thank you so much for writing in!
