Nice timing. I interviewed for a new job last week. I was hesitant about even applying for the job b/c the title is Senior Software Developer and I could only think in terms of "...But I know so many better hackers." Then I realized most of them are found here and generally have everyone else's back; whether it's a design choice, a twisty regex, or B:: space boogeyman.
I don't think I've ever asked a work related question here but the mere fact that I could and that I'd probably get 3 right answers within the hour made me really quite confident about trying for, and taking, the job. I started today.
So I echo lvanhout's general thanks and add my own. I know how valuable and important this site is both for personal and professional development. To any Monk who answered a question of mine or wrote one of the many books on my desk, I will gladly buy you lunch if you /msg me the next time you're in Seattle. (For the rest'a y'all slackers, it's Dutch.)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
