Perl Weekly=20
https://perlweekly.com/
You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer.

Hi there!
It seems The Perl Planetarium ( https://perl.theplanetarium.org/ ) got a
facelift. Congratulations!
A couple of days ago I received an email from Olaf Alders, let me include
the whole thing here as he explains it much better than I could do:
Hi Everyone,
Please excuse the mass email. Today we have a funding announcement for TPRF
which is our largest gift (so far?) of 2025. I'd like to make a big splash
for a few reasons:
- Drawing attention to this may help to get our message out to more
potential donors
- This is great news for Perl/TPRF
- Generating some buzz around this kind of news makes it easier for us to
get another donation next year
If you feel comfortable, please help to amplify this in the venues where it
works for you. I will list them below. If this is not your thing, that's ok
too, and I hope you'll forgive the intrusion.
If you're reposting on LinkedIn, the more impactful option is to repost
with your own thoughts. If you don't have thoughts to add, just a regular
repost is great too.
If you're able to upvote on Hacker News, that's a pretty big deal. We have
managed to spend a lot of time on the front page with these kinds of
announcements and I can tell you that it does not go unnoticed, especially
internally at the orgs who fund us.
If you can't do this today, you can also do it tomorrow, later in the week
etc. The idea is to keep this information circulating as much as possible
and it doesn't all have to happen on the same day.
On a related note, I'm happy to join a podcast or reach out to a
publication to discuss this. If you have any contacts you'd like to share
with me, I'm all ears.
Thanks for making it this far. Here come the links:
- LinkedIn (
https://www.linkedin.com/posts/olafalders_duckduckgo-donates-25000-to-the-p
erl-and-activity-7379193904002359296-0IQL )
- Hacker News ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3D45439883 )
- Reddit (
https://www.reddit.com/r/perl/comments/1nvddyp/duckduckgo_donates_25000_to_
the_perl_and_raku/ )
- Fosstodon ( https://fosstodon.org/-at-oalders/115299940775703719 )
And the actual article is at perl.com (
https://www.perl.com/article/duckduckgo-donates-25-000-to-the-perl-and-raku
-foundation-v2025/ )
Thanks again. TPRF is not yet out of the woods as far as funding goes, but
things are really looking up.
Enjoy your week!

https://blogs.perl.org/users/e_choroba/2025/10/using-ai-to-optimise-the-c=
alculation-of-krippendorffs-alhpa.html
=20
An excellent post on how to use (or not) AI to improve the speed of some
code. I wonder though, and this is one of the biggest problems I have
with AI: How do I know that the lack of success by the AI was because AI
is not good enough or because the prompt wasn't good enough? Maybe the
selected model wasn't the right one for this task? In any case I'd
reiterate the last sentence: I'd love to read your experience using AI.
Both good and bad. Both with Perl and otherwise.

https://www.reddit.com/r/perl/comments/1nv5xuy/is_perl_still_used_activel=

=20
I find it sad that people use the word DevOps as if it was a
job-description and not a cultural idea of Developers and Operations
working together, but what can we do it seem a large chunk of the
industry instead of embracing the DevOps culture, just created a new silo
for sysadmins who know how to configure cloud services.

Congratulations!<BR><BR>A couple of days ago I received an email from Olaf Alders, let me include<BR>the whole thing here as he explains it much better than I could do:<BR><BR><hr><BR><BR>Hi Everyone,<BR><BR>Please excuse the mass email. Today we have a funding announcement for TPRF<BR>which is our largest gift (so far?) of 2025. I'd like to make a big splash<BR>for a few reasons:<BR><BR><BR><BR>- Drawing attention to this may help to get our message out to more<BR>potential donors<BR><BR>- This is great news for Perl/TPRF<BR><BR>- Generating some buzz around this kind of news makes it easier for us to<BR>get another donation next year<BR><BR><BR><BR>If you feel comfortable, please help to amplify this in the venues where it<BR>works for you. I will list them below. If this is not your thing, that's ok<BR>too, and I hope you'll forgive the intrusion.<BR><BR>If you're reposting on LinkedIn, the more impactful option is to repost<BR>with your own thoughts. If you don't have thoughts to add, just a regular<BR>repost is great too.<BR><BR>If you're able to upvote on Hacker News, that's a pretty big deal. We have<BR>managed to spend a lot of time on the front page with these kinds of<BR>announcements and I can tell you that it does not go unnoticed, especially<BR>internally at the orgs who fund us.<BR><BR>If you can't do this today, you can also do it tomorrow, later in the week<BR>etc. The idea is to keep this information circulating as much as possible<BR>and it doesn't all have to happen on the same day.<BR><BR>On a related note, I'm happy to join a podcast or reach out to a<BR>publication to discuss this. If you have any contacts you'd like to share<BR>with me, I'm all ears.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Thanks for making it this far.
