Dean Hamstead from the The Perl and Raku Foundation Marketing Committee has sent an invitation to present about #Rex at The Perl and Raku Conference 2023. I’m posting it here to increase visibility.

We are happy to provide support and feedback to speakers on our channels: https://www.rexify.org/support/index.html

If you were looking for a great opportunity to present about Rex, this is it! :)

#opensource #rexops #perl #devops

Call For Papers deadline is March 31! Have anything you want to present at this summer’s @Perl and #RakuLang Conference?

We’re definitely looking for anything about #Rex, the friendly #OpenSource #automation framework for #DevOps implemented in #Perl. See this post: https://fosstodon.org/@ferki/110040148424021278

Happy Valentines Day ❤️

People don't fake depression, they fake being okay. Remember that and be kind.

here’s my (perpetually) hungry girl and forever queen, Frankie. #catsofmastodon #caturday

teacher: what does “agnostic” mean?

me: I don’t know

teacher: correct! how about “ambivalent”?

me: *shrug*

teacher: yes! how about “nihilistic”?

me: what difference does any of this make?

teacher: amazing

I keep myself sharp by regularly asking myself tough questions like “what happened yesterday?” and “why did I come upstairs?”

I confess myself a bit baffled by people who act like "how to interact with ChatGPT" is a useful classroom skill. It's not a word processor or a spreadsheet; it doesn't have documented, well-defined, reproducible behaviors. No, it's not remotely analogous to a calculator. Calculators are built to be *right*, not to sound convincing. It's a bullshit fountain. Stop acting like you're a waterbender making emotive shapes by expressing your will in the medium of liquid bullshit. The lesson one needs about a bullshit fountain is *not to swim in it*.

So, looks like my contract will be up end of February.

Anyone looking for a Perl guy?

Fun Fact: People in the Old West used to attach lanterns to their saddles so that they could follow trails home easier at night.

It wasn't GPS, but it was...Saddle Light Navigation.
