If you have text files in any text-like format, there are plenty of command line tools to munge them. Even to convert them into an in-memory database to be able to query the data.

Testing
|
by Ed Jordan
What if you have a bunch of test cases with input data files and expected output data files and then, due to a change in the requirements the code and thus the expectation should change. Will you update all the expected data files manually? With Test::Snapshot you can automate that task.

According the Guinness Book of World Records, the fastest growing plant is a species of bamboo, which grows at a rate of up to 91cm a day. The fastest growing economy in the world is currently Ethiopia, with a projected growth in GDP of over 8% this year. And although the record for fastest growing Perl team might not be recorded in the Guinness Book of records, our client is a strong contender.

If you’re currently a senior full stack developer looking to take on your next role as an architect then this is a great opportunity to do so in a company that is both ambitious and supportive. Increased job satisfaction is another perk, as their codebase is notably new and clean and the team are committed to using modern practices.

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!
