@wh0x3r I’ve been a professional #Perl #developer for sixteen years, which is now over half my #InformationTechnology career. That career started writing #SystemAdministration and #CGI scripts using the last version of #Perl4 and the first releases of #Perl5.

Was Perl core to all my past employers’ products? Not always. But it has been for the last half-dozen or so. I’ve been lucky to find them.

Follow @Perl if you want to network and learn from others like me.

@kusuriya @randomgeek #Perl has handled #Unicode since v5.6 released in 2000. #AWS debuted two years after. Heck, Bezos had only been working out of his garage for three months when #Perl5 was released. What the hell is their excuse for using #Perl4?
