Percona wants to hire a Maatkit developer
Percona is looking to hire someone to develop Maatkit, among other things.
If I weren’t having so much fun being the consulting team lead, I’d be doing it myself. (In fact, I’m still hacking on it a lot. Got some pretty fun stuff done this weekend.) I don’t know what the rest of the world thinks, but I think Maatkit is a damn enjoyable project to work on. Hopefully someone else will have the same kind of mindset and want to get paid for it, unlike poor working-on-the-weekends me.
I’m not stepping away from the project. It’s just grown a lot, and there is room and money to grow it much more. This is actually the best compliment to the project: that it is worth hiring someone to keep improving it. Lots of people are using it, and there’s a lot of stealth-mode stuff I/we want to do with it too.
On a related note, who wants me to order another batch of Maatkit t-shirts? I’ve gotten quite a few questions about it.
I want that red Maatkit t-shirt which I didn’t get during the conference. Woohoo!

I’d like to have one of these shirts too. Is it possible to send it to Germany?

Wow, props to Petya and Vadim for standing up behind the project like that. I think Perl is really fun and easy to program in, and it’s perfect for this kind of tool - so whoever is going to develop maatkit is going to have a lot of fun.
On another note, I would actually like to get the maatkit shirt that fits. The XL from the conference is way big and was promptly regifted. I vote more Ms!
