We hear the word "function" used in a lot of contexts. Serverless uses functions. Functional programming. Writing functions in a big data pipeline. Functional composition. So... what are these function things? Are they the same? Are they different? David Pollak, a geek who's been doing all kinds of functional stuff for more than a decade, will give you a primer on "functions", what they mean, how they're used, where they are similar, where they are different, and much more.
