Using graph to explain the task is really cool. Thank you for your efforts every week.

Dave's initial comment about the week number 160 is very interesting, and I'd never thought about it. I also like how he promotes the method signature in Perl. Keep up the great work.

I noticed something new in this Raku solution '.tclc', which I'd never seen before. Keep it up!

by Flavio Poletti (POLETTIX)

I liked the compact solution in Raku, taking full advantage of the language. Very smart. Thank you!

Luca is a great promoter of the Raku language. I liked his one-liner in Raku, which was very interesting. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

by W Luis Mochan

Luis took the challenge to another level, and you should definitely have a look at his solution! Thank you for your contributions.

There is a WhatsApp group in which every few days a native Ladino speaker sends a short text message and reads it out aloud. With his blessing I started to share them on my site with links to translations.

As Chief Software Architect for an international company providing online trading services, you’ll work closely with the Chief Technology Officer. With a strong understanding of the full stack of software development and cloud technologies, you’ll mentor engineering teams and provide guidance in solving technical issues.

A global leader in machine intelligence matching job seekers with their perfect career: our client’s goal is human level parsing. They’re on the hunt for an NLP Engineer whose passion for NLP is matched only by their interest in Machine Intelligence and their ability to drive quality improvements, measurement standards, and error analysis processes for the NLP framework.

Client is particularly keen on someone who knows Modern Perl, but’s also comfortable doing sysadmin tasks. It’s a small and engaged team, and a combination of both would be useful – bonus points if the sysadmin experience is on FreeBSD. They also use some interesting supporting technologies: Elixir, CouchDB, and RabbitMQ, and either experience or enthusiasm for those would go down well.

ure, you’ve got Perl chops for days, but that’s not all you can do — and that’s why our client wants to meet you. They’re looking for senior Perl developers, Node engineers, and those with mighty Python and SQL skills to lead their team. Cross-trained team members are their sweet spot, and whether you’re cross-trained yourself or are open to the possibility, this may be your perfect role.

Our client is at the pinnacle of the premium native advertising game for corporate, tech, financial services, and lifestyle technology. This role is for a Senior Developer who is equally comfortable with Perl AND Python.
