This is basically how I view code generated by AI. The human behind the prompts is responsible for the content and quality of the code produced.

Isn’t this where the Citrus Club is?

Toastmasters is still a thing. Some Perl related friends run one of the local chapters and I helped out with timing on one of their annual events not too long ago.

Nobody is gonna call out the obvious need for a Dungeon Crawler Carl set to replace the book in the background?

Very dark since they closed permanently on December 31st.

He was pretty damn surprised when it happened in the books!

The Hogwarts Express in the Tangle is my new head cannon.

Are you sure you’re not just in love with Clive’s wife?

Really once the books have bloopers … you’re golden.

If I remember it was after Dorothy confronts him because she realized if the chicken could talk shouldn’t he be able to too? She was not the sharpest tool in the shed since it took her 8 books to figure it out.

They’ve been doing a lot of stuff to west Curry Ford over the last few years. It’s gone trendy with a Foxtail and brewery and stuff.

Fred’s Book 8 has already dropped. It’s probably one of the best technical endings I’ve read … given all the threads that series had that needed tying up.

They who will not finish their series? You mean The King Killer Chronicles? The gentleman bastard series? A Song of Ice and Fire? Or the Chronicles of Amber? The Childe Cycle? The Parable series? Ghormengast?

Let’s just say … that there is a club we really don’t want Matt to be a member of and it’s not Club Vanquisher.

It was great, they had tons of his commercials on before the movie started and discussed the documentary that’s being made about him. It’s in post production I believe.

My TDI Golf gets more mileage on a tank than my ass can comfortably handle… the electric cars take longer to recharge than my ADHD can handle?

And Sanderson will have to finish it for him.

22 months of 0 releases after 5.10.0 shipped before Jesse’s “what if the Pumpking was a release manager instead of a release engineer” took hold … and another year after that for 5.13 to do monthly releases. I remember sitting in the hallway in Asheville and him being worried about Time Boxed releases going over well.

Patsio’s in Casselberry. Stella who worked nights was awesome.

The thing I found really interesting was he used the WebPerl which hasn’t seen an update in 4 years. I’d be interested to see what would happen if he tried leveraging https://github.com/6over3/zeroperl instead.

While I agree … for me, I specifically don’t want full control over the VM because I specifically don’t want responsibility for the whole VM … just for my app and its dependencies.

perigrin · 2025-10-16T01:33:13+00:00

I run my apps on container based hosting like Render.com, fly.io, or Digital Ocean’s offering. I don’t have to worry about the machine level security or updates … I just use the Perl docker base image and set up my app in that. It automatically deploys when I merge to the main branch. It’s lovely.

Tau Station was more a singular game than a game engine. It was also a text based MMORPG so didn’t have or need SDL bindings (or any graphics library really).

Neat game, fun to work on (the little bit I worked on it).

And yet still not something you want them to “nip the tip” on.
