Ville Takanen<p>The tech hiring model is broken. We see mass layoffs happening at the same time as a critical skills shortage. It's an inefficient system that serves no one well.</p><p>What if we used LLMs for something more interesting than generating boilerplate? What if we used them as a core component in a system to rapidly reskill our existing, loyal talent for the jobs we desperately need to fill?</p><p>In my latest blog post, I explore this from an organizational engineering perspective. The biggest blockers aren't technical—they're cultural and financial. It's about having the courage to invest in people, retain invaluable domain knowledge, and stop the costly churn.</p><p>I'd be curious to hear what other devs think. Is this a viable path forward?</p><p>Read the full post: <a href="https://villetakanen.com/blog/biz-future-of-careers/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">villetakanen.com/blog/biz-futu</span><span class="invisible">re-of-careers/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tech</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Development" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Development</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LLM</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/FutureOfWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FutureOfWork</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Upskilling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Upskilling</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/EngineeringCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EngineeringCulture</span></a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Recruitment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Recruitment</span></a></p>
Dr. Leon KumsWhy We Rewrote All Our Rust Code in Perl and Raku at SBI — And Why It Worked<br><br>In a bold move that raised more than a few eyebrows, Dr. K, our visionary CEO at SBI, led the initiative to rewrite all of our Rust codebase in Perl 🐪 and Raku 🦋. Yes, you read that right — Rust 🦀 out, Perl and Raku in.<br><br>What seemed unconventional at first turned out to be one of the most strategically sound decisions we’ve made:<br><br>Unparalleled Expressiveness ✨: Raku’s powerful syntax and Perl’s mature libraries gave our teams the agility to iterate faster and express complex logic with clarity.<br><br>Developer Productivity ⚡: Our engineers experienced a significant boost in productivity. Fewer lines of code, less boilerplate, and highly flexible scripting accelerated both prototyping and deployment.<br><br>Legacy Interoperability 🏛️: Perl's vast ecosystem allowed seamless integration with legacy systems, saving us months of re-engineering work.<br><br>Community &amp; Support 🤝: While not as trendy, the Perl and Raku communities provided deep, battle-tested solutions to problems we faced.<br><br>This wasn’t just about tech—it was about culture. Dr. K reminded us that innovation doesn’t always mean following the newest trend; sometimes it means re-examining the tools we overlook and discovering new potential in them.<br><br>The results? ✅ More stable code, ✅ happier devs, and ✅ improved time to market.<br><br>Curious about how we made the transition? Let’s connect — I’d love to share what we learned.<br><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://fedi.seriousbusiness.international/tag/techleadership" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TechLeadership</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fedi.seriousbusiness.international/tag/softwareengineering" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SoftwareEngineering</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fedi.seriousbusiness.international/tag/perl" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Perl</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fedi.seriousbusiness.international/tag/raku" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Raku</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fedi.seriousbusiness.international/tag/innovation" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Innovation</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fedi.seriousbusiness.international/tag/rust" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Rust</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fedi.seriousbusiness.international/tag/sbi" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SBI</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fedi.seriousbusiness.international/tag/engineeringculture" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EngineeringCulture</a>
