In Scala, if you like the builder pattern, you can ensure the build method is available only when all mandatory fields are populated, though it involves a lot of boilerplate. #scala blog.rhetoricalmusings.com/posts/builde...

There's a good chance you have already used contramap (e.g. when creating a Circe encoder), but understanding the concept can be challenging. This article explains it using a practical example. #scala blog.rhetoricalmusings.com/posts/contra...

I'm giving this workshop at Scala Days, which will cover most of the techniques I've learned over the last 15 years of building software in typed FP.

Happy to answer any questions about the workshop (which will draw from the book I'm writing: scalawithcats.com)
