alrondy··on Former Facebooker Scoops Up $1.4 Million for Freshplum (YC S11)
You know what's cool? The only news about your company is that someone wrote it a check. Your website has fuck-all about what you're doing. Apparently I can sign myself up for some unspecified email content at some random point in the future, because I don't get enough email.

Now it's on hn with some crap about how you've "since expanded"... great. Get back to me when you're in business.

alrondy··on What is Modern Perl
In perl culture, "Modern Perl" refers to bad programming by a core group of egocentric, sanctimonious developers who are to Perl what Lennart Poettering is to Linux.

There are now dozens of CPAN modules with names like "common::sense" and "Modern::Perl" that provide no useful code, but introduce packaging dependencies and administrative overhead in the name of not having to type "use strict;" out by hand.

Modern Perl is using Moose::Any instead of just using a language that does what you want. Modern Perl involves an average of 130 CPAN dependencies for any give application.

Modern Perl is when perl stopped being perl and started being awful.
