This week's episode is a detour into the trends emerging for talent in the tech startup world. We talk about the glory of Red Bull-fueled hackathons, the rise of the unconventional career path, and the economics of building strong teams (and paying interns).

In the second half of the show, we chat with legendary Perl expert and longtime FLOSS Weekly podcast host Randal Schwartz on topics ranging from the coolest open source software projects encountered over 400 episodes to the art of running a weekly tech show (just like ours!).
