Why Writing Software Is Nothing Like Building A House

Patrick Gleeson

Let the Cats Out of the Bag

Do you lie awake at night thinking about monads? Do you wonder why the identity of the exclusive OR Monoid is false? No, of course not... because you're still not sure what the hell they are! Allow me to explain with a beginner friendly introduction to Category Theory - with cats! And may your dreams once again be full of maths.
