either that, or part of my job consists of maintaining other people's code that never bothered to take that class.

It's not a matter of if us "fucktard assholes" know perl and/or use perl.. It's a matter of not wanting to spend 90% of our time chasing retarded bugs because people can't be bothered to write clean code.

It's a matter of better use of time. Not skill. Try working in a dev shop bigger than your mom's basement sometime.

I'll be interested to see how this pans out. Its not neccisary to stress the differences between asian languages in general and english, obviously. Best of luck to them. After 4 months in asia, I'm curious to see what the Japanese version of decent english produced from a PDA would sound/look like. it'll be quite the accomplishment if they can make this work well.
