WordPress was very simple back when it started. You needed just a few files: header.php, home.php, single.php, footer.php, and I wrongly assumed "Code is poetry" was about the brevity of poetry.

More recently, for simple websites I created a Golang template that reads a PSV config file. (PSV throwback to my Perl days.) Uses very little memory, no database, and I can reuse the same Go code for multiple websites. I think about sharing the code, but I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble.

I'm encouraged to see people here using their noggin, following their bliss, keeping things simple, and I hope this trend catches on.

Works with LinkedIn posts too.

From the documentation, looks like TP 5 from my high school days :-)

Do you vouch for any recruiter? Leave a comment with your favorite recruiter's name, contact info, the company/position they got you hired for, and preferably the % they took from your salary.

It's an open source list, feel free to repost to Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit, etc. Getting some traction on Austin Digital Jobs.

Have you ever interviewed with a recruiter? Here's what I think every time:

A) Does the job really exist? Or is this a leadgen tactic? Recruiters want a steady flow of developers walking through the door all day. Hustlers catch prospects with honeypot listings. That's the reality. Once the interview is over, now you're on their list and they can claim to represent a huge pool of talent.

B) Do they really have a good relationship with the company? You're asking me to waste time driving across town for an interview, and pester my references, without showing me your track record?

C) What percentage do they take? Are they pitching me too high? Are they bad at negotiating? Do they have too much overhead?

D) Would I be better off working with another recruiter?

E) What are they not telling me?

etc. etc.

Perhaps a better name: D.A.R.L.
