good. i've been doing freelance work which has been fun, get to set my own hours (within reason) so i can roll out of bed, work on some unrelated open source stuff, then code on my work into the night. i'm giving my first real tech talk next month, which is exciting

whoaaaaa they use the name of the operator as the name of the token. that's so crazy. next thing you know they'll be calling plus signs T_PLUS or something

goddamnit all the tokens except this one were named in english, and of course this particular token was teh subject of MANY parse errors

also "BTW, there is a spelling mistake in the parse error, it should be T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDATAYIM (in hebrew, the 'double' form is just the original noun + the 'ayim' suffix and 'nekuda' is the single form ['nekudot' is the plural form])."

i was hired without being informed by the owners of the company that they were moving to south america to open a new office there. my impression was that after they left they were going to make me physically work onsite at bloomberg or some other nyc company, although it was not a stipulation of my contract that i could be sent off somewhere. once they moved, it would have been a two person office at most.

fwiw at least one of them lived down there for some period of time, so they were acting like they were doing some social justice bullshit by "spreading the world of development", but because supposedly one of their competitors were trying to hire people down there too, they were basically just being cheap and could hire devs for like $800 a month. while i was there they were trying to hire an administrative assistant and were considering $1200/mo too much money, and that was more than the devs were going to make.

they were legitimately pretty horrible people and i'm glad i moved on. i work with a bunch of really nice people, many of whom have families and realize that development is a way to pay the bills and you don't have to do it every second of the day.

this is how much I used to make (actually a little less). it sounds like a good deal but then again you must consider that for this cheap you'll get idiots like me.

yeah. when i was being interviewed they said that there were plans for an (other) office down there but they couldn't/didn't wan't to say where, and didn't specify they were leaving for an extended period of time, either. so after i started they finally told me about their plans and went on and on about how one of the big consultancy competitors (thoughtworks, specifically) were having conferences and poo poo down there as well as trying to hire overseas developers, so they were trying to "keep up".

basically in the end the goal was simply just heightening profit margins even though they're trying to act like teaching people who can barely speak a sentence of english to write code is a good idea. the project manager would interview these guys over skype, and if their internet didn't poo poo out ten times in five minutes first, they literally couldn't understand "when can you start?". that poo poo might fly if you're doing anything but consulting, because have fun trying to communicate with any of your clients directly about project requirements.

it's not a new york thing. it's because it's white collar, professional work. you're not union. you don't work in a factory.

you can say "that's not in my job description" but that will get you fired, and rightfully so. if an employer is willing to ask you to do something humiliatingly far outside your job description, you should quit. if you're enough of an rear end in a top hat to talk about "stipulations" in your non-existent "contract" you should be fired

that's how professional jobs fuckin work.

perl regex allows you to insert arbitrary code and call functions. it can be used as a complete parser framework if you choose, where you call methods on events like saxp

but most people just wang out a "crowbar" and call it done
