SoylentNews is people

If you are reading this and you are experienced with Perl, then your community needs you.

You see the heroic work being done by our devs Proposed Moderation Rework Experiment and think that couldn't be you? Think again Comrade - you too could be a SN hero!

Seriously - we need some Perl skilled people to offer some time. It doesn't need to be a massive commitment, a few hours here and there to squash a bug or two as it suits would be just fine.

You can contact me by email (above), or you'll find the usual reprobates malingering around #soylent on our irc server.

    That's me in the corner
    That's me in the spotlight
    Losing my religion
    Trying to keep up with you
    And I don't know if I can do it
    Oh no, I've said too much
    I haven't said enough

    I thought that I heard you laughing
    I thought that I heard you sing
    I think I thought I saw you try

    Yes! I'm ready for this.

    That is a great point you bring up, Blackmoore.
    There is often prejudice and distrust of those that lack belief in a particular religion, but not here at SoylentNews! You don't have to worry about anyone judging you or laughing. We have a supportive environment here and can accommodate those who wish to sing while coding in Perl. Let me remind you that every bit helps, even if you lack the confidence to do it or believe that you can't keep up with the others on the team.

    We believe in you and you can help make this site better.

      What "others on the team"? There's paulej72 heading the division as well as the sysadmin division and that Life stuff, so he's often very otherwise busy. There's martyb who does QA like a boss but does not himself code. And there's me who has a job that allows him essentially all the coding time he can stomach.

      So, speaking as the entire team of dev coding peons, don't worry about keeping up with me. If you can deal with three minor bugs or requests a month, I'm probably going to hurt myself trying to riverdance.
