I'm really sad that I was not able to make it to #tprc in the US this year. My apologies to the organising team for having to pull my talk at the last minute, and to the attendees that we're looking forward to hearing it. Unfortunately, it could not be helped.
And thank you for the chance to share my #Perl work. That really means the world.
I'm sure the conference will be a success regardless, and that there will be other chances in the future. Have fun, everyone!
Usability fail: the command to edit the crontab (crontab -e) is one slightly misplaced finger away from the command to delete your crontab (crontab -r)
They're Right. Next. To. Each. Other... 😑
On my way to #lpw2024 to talk about #opentelemetry and #perl.
I'm so happy to be back after all these years!
I really appreciate today’s #PerlAdventCalendar by @jjatria: https://perladvent.org/2023/2023-12-24.html
On this #ChristmasEve, maybe the #Perl kids and the #Kotlin kids and the #Ruby kids and the #Java kids and the #Python kids and the #RakuLang kids and the #GoLang kids and the #Rust kids and the #PHP kids and the #JavaScript kids and the #Csharp kids and all the other kids I can’t fit into a #Mastodon character limit can all play and have fun with each others’ toys.
Peace on Earth, y’all. 🎁

hm, on second thought...
The article's title: What exactly was the point of [ “x$var” = “xval” ]?
Me: "Well, cargo culting for people who don't know how to quote in the shell?"
Turns out: no. There are _several_ good reasons why people did this, and the bugs it's been a workaround for have continued to exist into the 2010s.
If you're somewhat proficient in #shell scripting and/or interested in #Unix history, this is an awesome read.
