Very minimally paraphrased, a Career Programmer is described as follows. We’ve all seen them. The ones who never coded in school outside of assignments. These . . . → Read More: Programming as a Profession As a disclaimer, this is my experience, and not a broad generalization about enterprise work environments, or the software industry as a whole. Background. Some background about myself will probably help you understand where I’m coming from, so here’s the skinny: I’ve been developing software for a decade, and contributing to open source projects . . . → Read More: Culture Shock: Programming for the Enterprise I’m quite a bit late (almost a full year!) in publishing this, but oh well. Here are the slides from the presentation I gave at the International Lisp Conference 2012 in Kyoto, Japan. Unfortunately, without the talk to go along with them, they might not make a lot of sense.

After having programmed some non-trivial Lisp, you will more easily see things like code-data duality, functional patterns, expression-oriented programming, and so forth.
