No, I hate the office. Distracting open floor plans, no access to healthy foods, not being able to see my children throughout the day. I live less than a mile from my office - and …

I really need to take the time and do a deep dive on this language, it has such an interesting feature set.

The ocean is literally on fire, maybe they don’t know what they are doing.

The good news is most business problems are not that hard. There are domains where you really have to be a crackerjack engineer, but most jobs just need you to know how to push and…

Python already has support for optional braces. def say_word(word): #{ print(word) #}

Perl. CLI one-liners or small one-off scripts. You can do so much automation and data munging so quickly with it that it really makes you feel like you have superpowers.

Having used many different web frameworks in many different languages, Mojolicious is by far my favorite. It's super easy to get started. The documentation and community are incred…
