I landed my current job after being contacted from my "Who wants to be hired?" post. I'm not exactly a rockstar ninja, but I was pinged by multiple people: a pleasant surprise and …

Perl has distinct operators for string concatenation and numeric addition (as well as string comparison/numeric comparison): $ perl -E 'say "plus: ", 1 + "1"' plus: 2 $ perl -E 'sa…

If a bit of self promotion is allowed, check out https://github.com/spring1944/spring1944 . It's an RTS, so a little more action oriented than the (typically) more detailed turn ba…
