  I have a feeling that you started at Booking.com on a bad note. I too work there and things are not exactly as you put them, at least not from my perspective. It's true that Booking.com is growing fast, very...
• Commented on Using WebKit to generate PDF slides
  I haven't looked at Beamer, so I don't know how it works and my comments will be quite limited regarding this software. The advantages that HTML has in my opinion is that more persons know HTML than LaTeX. It's also...

  Today we can find a lot of presentations written in HTML or any other variant (XHTML, HTML5, etc) using JavaScript frameworks such as s5 or deck.js.

  These frameworks allow the creator t…

• Commented on CPAN upload
  I use a custom made release script. My script too handles the most common tasks for some of my modules but I should definitely adopt one of the release helpers available in CPAN. I use cpan-upload for uploading my modules...

  CPAN offers multiple ways for uploading modules. I only know of 3 ways:

  I'm looking forward to use this new blog portal. Blogging from use.perl.org was starting to be a bit painful as sessions tend to expire randomly and the posts are limited to text only.

  Congratulations to those who had the initiative to start the project and the volunteers that made it poss…

  Just play their games: if you want challenging goals, I would suggest you, when you are allowed to write new lines of code, to design something which can potentially explode in the most amazing and weird ways in very particular conditions or if they are copied/pasted. Side effects should be your new catchword.

  Hi Friend.

  I read it today. This happens to me "MANY" times. This is because of the enthusiasm you possessing to learn more. It happened to me even for my last company(Currently I am working Self). What I learned is that , for the life you need money .For that you have to work (Most employers only bothered about the "BUSINESS" not bothered about employee or his interest).If you have enough money resign the job and do work for you (and learn what you want to learn. Now Google is there you can learn any new technology if you are willing to learn).
  Good Luck !

• sheila.tanner35 commented on Truth about Booking.com

  I'm currently working on my CV, portfolio, and motivation letter so I can apply to Booking.com for the UX Designer position. I'm ok with the company having a bureaucratic environment; I survived nearly 13 years in the US military. If we could have fit in any more bureaucracy there, we would have made great honorary Volgons (H2G2 reference). Not to mention, the pay can't be any worse than my current pay for the same job. I always hear about how freelance work gives you more freedom, but in my experience working as part of a team is more conducive to an atmosphere of freedom. If hired,…

  Well, is it good or not good to work at Booking? And, if it's good, is good to move to Netherlands with family, is it sufficient to live in a good way and dreaming about the future of career and personal life?

• franciskim.co commented on Truth about Booking.com

  After a skim read I already think it's a bit of a cliche - it's not just Booking.com, this type of behaviour is present in many, many companies. That's why nothing beats working for yourself.
