-
Perl is a language, most criticized for looking like unreadable "line noise". But that may be an unfair criticism. If you love Perl, contact me and let’s get you on the show.

Arthur Doler talks about retrospectives and how to make them better.
Note that this was recording at the Indy.Code() conference in a hallway, so the audio may be a bit noisier than usual.
Also, SPECIAL THANKS to the great David Giard (who has been on the show before: Episode 6 and Episode 15, and he's also the host of the excellent Techology and Friends show, of which my podcast is a pale imitation) who gave me some new podcasting equipment that I used in this episode. I am extremely grateful, but I'm still trying to figure out how best to use this equipment (which may be obvious in this episode).
Show Notes:
- Book: Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman
- Hidden Brain by Shankar Vedantam
- Hidden Brain podcast on NPR
- Hidden Brain book
- Book: You Are No So Smart by David McRaney

- Need a real API for demonstrating Ajax stuff? Check out The Example API. It provides all kinds of methods (GET, POST, etc), content responses (JSON, JSONP, XML, etc), response codes (404, 500, etc). Great for cross-domain testing, and it's what I used for my jsonp example post.
- Something to think about: Why Link Shorteners Harm Your Readers
- How to create better cards (in Pivotal, LeanKit, whatever card tracking/PM system you're using). I find the idea of gherkin/cucumber tests in the card to be an intriguing one.
- Need a dummy placeholder image? Use dummyimage.com to get them dynamically.
Ever experience the new wave? Next wave? Dream wave? Flava flav? A guy named Dave? Men's aftershave? A voodoo conclave? 12 Years a Slave? Shortwave? OR CYBERPUNK!? Ever stared at a CRT wistfully?
I didn't think so.
