Why We Rewrote All Our Rust Code in Perl and Raku at SBI — And Why It Worked
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.
What seemed unconventional at first turned out to be one of the most strategically sound decisions we’ve made:
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.
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.
Legacy Interoperability 🏛️: Perl's vast ecosystem allowed seamless integration with legacy systems, saving us months of re-engineering work.
Community & Support 🤝: While not as trendy, the Perl and Raku communities provided deep, battle-tested solutions to problems we faced.
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.
The results? ✅ More stable code, ✅ happier devs, and ✅ improved time to market.
Curious about how we made the transition? Let’s connect — I’d love to share what we learned.

🚀 Revolutionizing IT at Serious Business International with NetBSD, AI, and a Bit of Wit
At Serious Business International, we don’t just follow trends—we redefine them. When faced with rising infrastructure costs and increasing system complexity, I knew there had to be a better way.
🔹 The Challenge: Our Linux and Windows machines were demanding more resources, more maintenance, and more budget than they were worth.
🔹 The Solution: Armed with NetBSD, AI-driven optimizations, and (of course) vast wits, we overhauled our systems, leading to a 50% cost reduction while boosting performance and stability.
Why NetBSD?
💡 Lightweight & Efficient – Runs on everything, from legacy servers to cutting-edge AI workloads.
💡 Stable & Secure – Fewer headaches, more uptime.
💡 Cost-Effective – No unnecessary licensing, no bloated requirements.
By integrating AI-powered automation, we streamlined operations, optimized workloads, and future-proofed our infrastructure. The result? A leaner, smarter, and more cost-effective IT ecosystem that allows us to focus on innovation instead of IT bottlenecks.
If your business is stuck in an expensive IT loop, maybe it’s time to rethink the fundamentals. Let’s talk about how open-source, AI, and a little strategic brilliance can transform the way we work.

Last night, I got my 6th DUI.
At this point, you’d think I’d learn. But as I sat there, watching the officer shake his head in disappointment, I realized…
This is exactly what happens to sales teams that refuse to change.
They keep making the same mistakes. They ignore the warning signs. They double down on bad habits, thinking, This time will be different.
But success—whether on the road or in business—requires adjustments. You have to recognize patterns, correct course, and, occasionally, hand over the keys to someone who knows what they’re doing.
Because in sales, just like in driving, you can’t keep making reckless decisions and expect a different outcome.

SBI is going 'all-in' on NetBSD and Perl5 this year after carefully analyzing the current trends in the tech space. Mark my words, 2025 will be the year of the NetBSD desktop, and SBI is going to lead the pack.
In the future all products will be disposable
I am pleased to announce SBI's new defederated blogging platform, WriteProprietarily™️
Dear colleagues. With all the goings on in the world and the rise of the ‘fediverse’ it might be easy to turn cynical towards technology and IT. But if we want people freed from the influence of Mastodon, Pleroma and Misskey, our skills are in dire need to create centralized, fun to use, simple to monetize alternatives. People will need ways to consume content more than ever and they need to be able to do it in a way that is personalized by the algorithm. I’m counting on you!
Now more than ever, we must not relent.
This is not the end.
This is merely the beginning.
If you're not using encryption, now is the time to start.
Buy your own domain. Start a blog.
If you're not washing your hands after using the bathroom, that's gross.
Don't just run your hands under some water pretending to do it, use soap.
Even if all you did was pee.
Employees _must_ wash hands after using the restroom.

Serious Business International is financed by venture capital rather than crowdfunding.
This is because we are futurists, technologists, and entrepreneurs(and definitely NOT broke ass nerd crowdfunders LMAO no green bubbles allowed) who are dedicated to squeezing every single extra drop of lifeblood from this wretched dumpster fire of a planet and would eagerly sacrifice the collective inheritance of our descendants and yours for just one extra condominium development on the shores of a beleaguered South Asian shore.
Here at SBI, we like to say 'Stand on the ashes of a trillion dead souls and ask the ghosts if honor matters.'

Based on our current assessment, SBI is not affected by the recent issues related to CrowdStrike’s software causing Windows operating system malfunctions as we converted our fleet of workstations to Void Linux.
The sad reality is that our current polarized political rhetoric is the origin of this political violence. Let your local politicians and media know that We The People are stronger together rather than divided!

Thank you all for your contributions to the tech dystopia!
Congrats to Sales for another huge contract awarded. Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport will replace their legacy air traffic control systems with SBI's new Low Hallucination* AI. This is a huge win (unless you're flying Delta... jk!)
