   It always blows my mind how most interview in our field. When I first started in tech I was afraid to talk about not knowing leetcode to my peers. 15 years in and I now can confidently say I’ve yet to meet someone who thinks these are a val

   I've read through some of the comments and there is some solid advice. I work at a large company and see this fairly frequently. You have to approach these things as what do you want out of it. Do you want to prove someone wrong, just

   Small improvements on every feature you write. Just keep iterating, sometimes things look bad and you want to delete useless lines. But those useless lines may be there for edgecases that you don't know about. Enhance, clean, iterate.

   I can appreciate this point of view but I think you are missing out. We learn as programmer's by making mistakes and experience. Familiarizing yourself with a crappy codebase (you didn't write) not only helps you get better at deb

    My dev friend and I were looking into doing a similar product a few years back. We stopped because of laws that prevent you from putting anything that may obstruct you or another drivers vision / attention.

    This is such a great project. I remember when it started back when I used to work in perl. The main devs on it are awesome. If I ever build anything in perl again that needs an webserver it would be this.

    I do most the interviewing for our tech team. I will rarely even ask a technical question. I look for passion, confidence and that they can keep a dialog on the topic of tech going. If I cannot have a conversation with someone for 30 minute

    Real world code doesnt suck in my opinion. The issue is that a lot of the time it solves problems that these books don't need to. Its easy to build an alogirthm and print it when you know every edge case. If you would take the first version

    I often get asked by clients I get to use mailgun if you have any interfaces like YMLP does for managing lists / generating programmatic email templates. I know we can implement this on our end but do you have any plans to build something l

    Mailgun is probably my favorite service. I have never had a problem using them. Any perl devs that want to use it I started a wrapper here https://github.com/gtsafas/mailgun.perl . Havent had a chance to really finalize it yet but feel fr
