Beautiful Southern California.... (Looking for Perl guys)

2011-03-24 Thread Peter Bowen
Hey guys,

Valueclick has a few perl openings, and we're having trouble filling 
them.  If you are a smart perl guy, AND would be willing to relocate ( 
there is a relocation package ), drop me a note.

   Our culture is great, with a fun and professional environment.  We 
use SCRUM, have a testing focus, and  big monitors... :)  In real terms, 
it means a good balance in quality of life and work.

  You can check out the positions @ 
http://www.valueclick.com/careers/jobs-at-the-click. (We also have sales 
and business openings)

-Peter

Not to steel Peter's thunder, but if you're a Ruby guy, there is
another company in California that is hiring.

I went to Mountain West Ruby Conf last week and some TrueCar recruiter
paid for everyone's lunch and said they have some high salary openings
in San Francisco (and somewhere else in CA -- I forget).  They'll pay
to fly you out for an interview (if you pass a test first), and
they'll pay for relocation if you're hired.  I'm not affiliated with
them in any way, just passing on the news if anyone is interested.

"Beautiful Southern California". Now, there's an oxymoron. Now, if you
were in the 21st century and had telecommuting jobs, I might be
interested in talking to you.

Of course they're not in the 21st century.  They're hiring /perl/ guys.

Rumors of Perl's death (or imminent death) have been greatly exaggerated. The 
Perl community continues to produce excellent modern software. The number of 
modules available from CPAN has grown at a terrific pace over the last few 
years. 

Some very exciting developments (pun intended) have occured in recent years 
that make developing in Perl an even more enjoyable experience than it was 
before:

- Moose is a post-modern object system that makes OO development easy and even 
fun.
- PSGI/Plack, a new paradigm for web development based on WSGI and Rack
- DBIx::Class continues to evolve as the ultimate way of working with 
databases
- Strawberry Perl makes it a piece of cake to develop, run, and deploy Perl in 
a Winbloze environment 
- Padre is a powerful cross-platform IDE for Perl development

Here are some others you may want to research yourself:

- Try::Tiny
- local::lib
- POE (getting to be an oldie, but still a goodie)
- autobox
- autodie
- Bread::Board
- Fey
- Starman

What exactly is a post-modern object system?

This year it's all about bashing Ocaml? (There's a really bad bash pun 
just waiting to happen here too)

According to the bottom of the first page of the manual [1], Moose is 
postmodern because 'we have "borrowed" features [...] and the bits we 
didn't like [...] we tossed aside.'

Actually I think the proper pronunciation of postmodern is 
"postmodernsnickersnicker", because there is no other way to say such a 
hilariously nebulous thing.

If Moose is postmodern the same way that Perl is postmodern, then
wouldn't tossing aside the OO bits you didn't like be giving OR a
higher precedence than AND? Wouldn't that make Moose just modernist?

I can't believe I looked at that much Perl code tonight. The good news
is that I'll be back to not understanding it in the morning...
