I try not to confuse roles and traits in my own life. Being the Perl god is a role. Being a stubborn cuss is a trait.

Perl doesn't have an infatuation with enforced privacy. It would prefer that you stayed out of its living room because you weren't invited, not because it has a shotgun

I've decided I don't want to be a manager. Every time you try to be responsive to your employees, they say you're being reactive and not proactive. And when you try to be proactive, they accuse you of being capricious and arbitrary. So I don't wanna be a manager.

Doing linear scans over an associative array is like trying to club someone to death with a loaded Uzi.

Laziness is a programmers main virtue.

For me, writing is a love-hate relationship.

It's there as a sop to former Ada programmers.
