in reply to Organizational Culture (Part V): Behavior
Yeah, I really didn't start making a lot of trouble until I fell in with those Ruby folks. :)
Perl will always have a special place in my heart. I wrote a primitive (and very early) intrusion detection system that saved my company's site from.... CodeRed I think? and we shipped its logs to Norton on day zero, which helped them fingerprint it. The source code was published in 2600!
Another favorite Perl memory was going to work at a .NET shop in the late 90s, and they expressly forbid me from doing anything in Perl. So I figured out how to compile my Perl modules into COM objects.
Oh, and at the same time that the Rails folks were rolling out betas of Basecamp, I was working independently on a proto-rails-like-framework written entirely in Perl.
Let's talk sometime! I'm easy to get in touch with.
Love y'all.
