As the days and weeks trickle by and fall to the ground like the autumn leaves on the maple tree behind the house, my mind wanders back to the good ole’ days when I had nothing in front of me except Notepad++, a terminal, and a problem to solve by myself. Those days are long gone, and Sir Claudius is threatening to turn me into a milquetoast programmer. Some days I feel like screaming (in all caps) at Claudius… “Don’t you know I used to hand-roll Perl before you were born??!!!” Alas, I must find other ways to rage against the machine.
