Mojolicious::lite is amazing; I'm using it on a personal project at the moment. I love Perl, it's exactly what I need in a programming language. I picked it up this year as I wanted a versatile and fast scripting language in my to

I've worked in small (less than 20 employees) companies and although there were no grooming / standup / retro meetings (i.e. all the bullshit agile stuff I can't stand), it was replaced with other bullshit like having to

2 reasons this pisses me off more than it should: 1) Tipping a fast food restaurant for simply doing the thing I am already paying them for (making the food and handing it to me over the counter) is fucking ridiculous. There was no table se

It's not just the driving on the left that gives away that this is not in the US, but also the fact that there are lights along the highway and reflectors dividing the lanes. Ha, safety precautions! I hate US highways at night, they ar

I'm not against refactoring at all! Refactoring is good! (Is Joel Spolsky against it? That _would_ be crazy). Refactoring in my opinion is very different to rewriting an entire codebase/application (which I assumed you meant - per

Eh? He's not wrong. for any serious (in production and actually being used by paying customers) software it _would_ be crazy to rewrite a codebase. I can't think of a compelling reason to. For the record, I became a perl user (for

I started using Perl 5 this year for fun, and I love it. Built some cool things with it. I love how regexes are so baked in. And cpan has perl modules for pretty much everything. Oh, and the official docs are second to none: https:/&#

You could probably get it done fast and easily with Perl CGI scripts and SQLite. But I realize that doesn't sound as cool. More fun though unless you enjoy learning frameworks etc.

Does the phone use Android or another operating system? I looked into the Kyocera phones but couldn't really understand this. Presumably it's Android if you can sideload APKs, but then, is it google Android or another version?
