Sydney Perl continues regular meetings with our next in February

Please join us on Tuesday 24th Feb 2025 at Organic Trader Pty Ltd.
Unit 13/809-821 Botany Road Rosebery

6:30pm to 9pm.

Chances are folks will head to a nearby Pub afterward.

I will talk about my 5 years working at Meta Platforms and 6 months at Amazon Inc. specifically contrasting their engineering culture, and generally discussing what Google calls an SRE culture. Contrasting my experiences at Big Tech to "Middle Tech".

Getting there:

Come in the front door marked
"Konnect" then take the first door on the right, and up the stairs to
Level 1.

Mascot station + 20 minute walk or 358 bus to Gardener's Road if you
don't want to walk so far.

Or Waterloo Metro station + 309 bus to Botany Road after Harcourt Parade.

We have a Signal group chat which we use to co-ordinate travel assistance on the day. For example, if you are lost or need a pick up from the station when it's raining etc. Reach out and someone will add you.

Join the email list!

The email list is very low volume and the place to get these updates (I sometimes forget to post them here).

Ensure to add the "from" email sydney-pm@pm.org to a custom filter and your allow-lists (and similar) to maximize chances Google/Microsoft/etc don't discard them. Plug to Australian native and Perl-ish Fastmail which is very popular and plays well.
