Earlier quoted context omitted.

I wrote my first web apps in Perl, way back in the 90's! "use CGI" anyone?

Same here. I also built a few web backends using Apache mod_perl, which was insanely fast compared to CGI.

PHP started as mod_perl app, too.

Nuna ( https://www.nuna.com ) | San Francisco & Remote friendly (US only)| Full-time | Visa Transfer In the US, we spend an average of over $12,500 per person each year on healthcare -- that’s almost twice what other developed countries spend. Healthcare in the US costs a staggering $4 trillion dollars per year, almost 1/5 of our Nation’s entire economy. Yet with all this resource, our healthcare outcomes are poorer…

You have to laugh at some of these descriptions and qualifications. Almost like they''re being verbose to seem more complicated.

For the Staff Software Engineer, Data Pipelines. There's the first two requirements:

  * 8+ years of experience

  * Experience building production-hardened data pipelines, with consideration for performance, scalability, reliability, and repeatability
Then, a few bullet points down, there's the head-scratching requirement:

  * Knowledge of database fundamentals like indexing and SQL queries
Honestly, I would hire the expert data engineer that doesn't know a lick of SQL. Whatever they've done in the past seems to be working, so why exclude them?

Y Combinator (yes, the people who run this site) | Infrastructure Software Engineer | Bay Area | Full-time I currently run YC’s infrastructure and I need some help! Over the last 7 years I’ve been at YC, our software team has grown considerably both in engineers and in products. We need to invest more in our infrastructure so we can keep shipping our products quickly. The main thing you’ll need in this job is curiosi…

I've been nerd sniped! Emailed you. Also, the current theme I'm seeing across many companies is "we have added lots of engineers/products/vendors and we need to focus on building a platform (infra, automation) that lets us ship and not get in the way". It seems industry went from un-bundling engineers --> sre, devops, network, security, developers --> re-bundling much of this knowledge back into a new role/practice a…

Is "platform engineering" the new buzzword for DevOps?
