note moritz <p>It's kind of funny, when I go to a Perl conference, many people know me from perlmonks. When I apply for a job, people know me from conferences or from my Perl 6 work.</p> <p>I got my new job through personal connections (some of which were made at Perl workshops), and the other applications I submitted contained references to github and perlmonks, and none of the interviewers mentioned either of those.</p> <p>My current line would be "If I were looking to improve my Perl marketability for the future, I'd write tools that Perl programmers use".</p> <p>I'd love it to be true that perlmonks increase marketability, but my own, limited experience can't confirm it.</p> <!-- Node text goes above.
