Recently there was a big and enthusiastic discussion when Russ Cox benchmarked several glob implementations and now Lukas shows us the fast version using regexes. It's a nice article and one can learn some regex power tools, but I still don't understand when does this have any practical impact? Have you ever used glob with more than 2 stars (*) in it?

Personally, I love Agile and Scrum so much I wrote a set of blog articles detailing why I love them so much. But it’s not everyone's cup of tea. Some people yearn for being given a two-week task, going away, and getting it done well by themselves, or in consultation with highly technical and well-read colleagues.

I love working in a vibrant, modern space. If you’re going to spend all day at work, it might as well be somewhere you enjoy being, rather than a cubicle farm. This client has a workspace I’m actively jealous of!

Love Perl but want to skill-up on another stack at your employer’s expense? Client is a major and dynamics UK company with a large (and pretty Modern) Perl codebase who have started extended their technical stack to include Scala and NodeJS.
