Hi, #Today I decided to try to #getfedihired — I've got many years of experience with web development, programming and production (#HTML, #CSS, #Javascript), I can make myself useful in anything on the open-source side of back end, i.e. the #Perl, #Python, #PHP, #MySQL, #Linux kind of area.
I live in #Sydney Australia and would be happy to work in-office, remote or hybrid.
Let me know of any opportunities, or pass this on to anyone else who might know of something? Thanks.
Ooof. As #Perl Release Manager this month, it falls on me to coördinate the writing of an obituary in the release notes

@jmac @one_of_these_days Yep, I used the floating-point output of #Perl's rand() function to pick a random key from a key-value hash here: https://social.sdf.org/@mjgardner/114113348454068399

#Perl
The non #Perl mind can not comprehend the marriages between Perl and #Assembly that are possible....
Those of us messing with the combination are becoming legion

Do I know any #Perl experts in my #developer network that are open to a contract in Middletown, NJ (suburb of #NYC)?
Please reach out to Ryan Troxtell at #TEKsystems if you’re interested in this position: https://jobs.perl.org/job/22037
If you're not, at least please boost this post for more visibility.
Pues me he mudado a masto.es porque ademas ya tenía cuenta y lo olvidé 
Aun estoy de mudanza pero repito la #presentación :
¡Saludos desde Madrid! Aquí va un poco sobre mí:
* 
Bibliotecario reconvertido a desarrollador backend (20+ años con Perl, Java y C#)
* 
Fotógrafo amateur obsesionado con:
- Aves en su hábitat natural
- Paisajes nocturnos y astrofotografía
- Fotografía macro
- Fotografía callejera
* 
Metalhead y amante del rock alternativo
* 
Devorador de:
- Ciencia ficción clásica (Asimov, Clarke, Bradbury)
- Fantasía urbana contemporánea
- Sagas épicas (Dune, Fundación)
seeing languages like #javascript and #php have complicated problems with type comparisons makes me think that perhaps #perl got it right by having one set of operators for numeric comparison (<,==,>,<=> etc.) and another for string comparison (lt,eq,gt,cmp etc.)
I’m looking for work as a senior software #developer. I have a full-stack #WebDev cert, 16+ years #Perl back-end experience, proficiency in multiple other #programming languages.
Databases? Sure, relational *and* NoSQL. CI/CD? Have done, want to do more. I like working with others, either here in #Houston or remotely across the US.
I’ve been hacking code since the #Commodore PET days. I can certainly delight your customers, whatever your stack.

Nice!
The #Perl mongers map is back!
It's in a bit reduced form since it's hayday, but if you know of a nearby #PerlMongers group that ought to be visible, then you can help put it on the map too:
It's just a quick PR to https://github.com/perlorg/www.pm.org/blob/master/perl_mongers.xml 
Easy-peasy! 
@futurebird @nixCraft oh I need this. I have been having, "urges", recently to go back to #perl Perhaps this book about #python will forestall my descent back into degeneracy.
For #DecemberAdventure I put a library of graph algorithms written in #perl on CPAN that I’ve been nibbling away at for a few years now. It does graph coloring (DSatur), exhaustive search to find Hamiltonian cycles in small graphs, finds shortest paths (Dijkstra’s), solves small SETCOVER problems (for those who enjoy that), and does normal stuff like Graphviz output. Next I’ll be improving docs & writing blog posts with pretty pictures of graphs (my fave)!
I am really excited by this uptick in #perl activity. Obviously as an author I am biased but I think that there's a lot of appeal to a broad audience for this sort of content. Right now the abstracts are online and you can find the related talks from TPRC 2024 on youtube.
Print copies are on sale via B&N and purchasing them supports further SPJ efforts. (or, as is commonly done, you can always contact an author for a preprint copy)
New #blog post: Why would you use Perl in 2024?
https://rldane.space/why-would-you-use-perl-in-2024.html
This was unexpectedly hard to write, because I discovered once I got started that I really haven't hardly touched Perl in over a decade. But I still think it's a groovy language, so I just rolled with it. ;)

And many thanks to @hyde for the prompt!! :D
If you’re writing software meant to last more than one election cycle, use a language as ancient and crabby as democracy itself.
