Ironically, the part of Perl that looks most cursing is the regular expressions, and that’s the feature that so many modern languages have borrowed from Perl directly.

In a sense it was a $32k offer for silence, but in savings rather than earning. Since she didn’t sign the NDA, she lost more money.

I know someone who does this. He’s more productive at home, and near-zero people he meets with at the office, but there’s a mandate to badge-in so many days a week. So he does.

Buy a Framework, System76 or something else with first class Linux support.

On the other hand, a Garmin Fenix can be easily opened with an inexpensive tool and replacement parts are easily found online.

I’ve been at this for 25 years and a restriction on variable name length hasn’t been a problem since then.

A good senior dev shouldn’t just be older, they should have continued to learn and evolve.

I do remember texting abbreviations because we texted on a number pad with no autocomplete.

Everyone I know was happy to switch to better keyboards and autocomplete as soon as they were available.
