With more & more companies desperately trying to get aboard the hype train, I have a plea:

For the love of grapefruit, someone understand that we're going to need AI-less solutions VERY soon, when the whole charade collapses because it's actually worse than useless.

Whichever have avoided tying their fate to the hype will be SO SUCCESSFUL soon, when everybody's going to need a place to get away from those who did.

I'm handling sponsorships for this year's Perl and Raku Conference. Please share this far and wide so that we can get as many new sponsors as possible. ❤️

Everyone! If your #business depends on #Perl or #RakuLang please consider supporting the communities you rely on!

One good way to ensure a sustainable future for #OpenSource ecosystems like these, is to support active and fertile venues for learning and teaching these technologies.

Right now, you can help by supporting the Perl and Raku Conference, and later this year, the London Perl Workshop.

Is this relevant for you? Forward it to your manager! 💯
