My first year in Scala
summary
18 months of moving from basic syntax to shipping backend code at JP Morgan, with a first endpoint taking three weeks instead of half a morning and a learning path that centers on owning mistakes, asking better questions, and building practice through pairing and mobbing. Concrete tooling and exercises include h4s sangria cats work, writing codecs and JSON handling, property‑based testing and a small Twitter clone used to explore libraries; expect examples of what was built, what failed, and which fixes actually sped up productivity.
