Hi there I have been writing Python for several years now, primarily because that's what my clients use. I attend Python events. I even help organizing some of them. Yet I still don't see myself as part of any Python tribe. It seems they have a requirement of hating Perl, which is, well, very strange. However, I can have great fun with Python programmers. Especially seeing how some of them can be triggered by a post about Perl 6. Thanks to Damian who provided the excellent blog post. And as for the rest of you, enjoy your week! Gabor Szabo |

Testing
|
by Olaf Alders (OALDERS) I admit I don't understand yet when would I want to automate the creation and maintenance of my Travis-CI configuration file, but if at one point I need it, I know where to turn. Besides I learned about Travis-CI being bought by Idera, a company I've never heard of. |

CPAN

by Olaf Alders (OALDERS) Olaf introduces us to t, a little Twitter command line tool. He also creates a Twitter list of all the CPAN authors who have shared their ID via MetaCPAN. I found quite a few funny and interesting posts. |

Based out of the leafy city of Cambridge – a home for everyone from Darwin to Hawking – you’ll be working for a company specialising in genomics, whose platform aids clinicians in investigating the human genome, identifying diseases and working to beat them. |
|
Sometimes when young companies reach a certain level of success, complacency sets in. The culture (subtly) shifts from entrepreneurial to bureaucratic. That’s not this client. Instead of toasting themselves, they keep rolling. |
|
You’ll be working with a Modern Perl stack deployed to AWS on Mojolicious with a strong focus on testing and continuous integration, and the infinite wisdom of one of CPAN’s most prolific (and nicest) contributors at hand. The company helps charities fundraise online and works in online payments; you’ll literally be saving the world a little bit with every line of code you commit. |
|
You’ll help build out a Modern Perl platform ahead of international expansion. The team uses Catalyst, TT, Moose with Plack and mod_perl, as well as the sensible testing tools you’d expect. The team has a multi-technology approach, also using Node for some services, Elastic Search, nginx, and Postgres. Deployment is managed using Ansible. |
|
A Cambridge-based provider of a revolutionary diagnostic tool for clinicians is looking for Modern Perl developers who are passionate about using their tech skills to help further the field of medicine. You’ll be building the tools that scientists are using to cure disease. |
