While you are right, you sound like you are trolling
That paragraph was jacked up from top to bottom. He pointed out just a few items. Personally, I find your comment to fit the troll bill. At least his was helpful.

Perl got used for some backend tasks. Nothing related to the webserver.
Awesome. Thank you for responding!

Love him or hate him, Jeff Bezos has been a legendary figure in the world of business for over 25 years now. His focus on the long term has led to the tremendous success Amazon has undergone.
When he started selling just books, he was laughed at by some people; but he had a why behind starting off with books. One thing is certain, Bezos has stayed consistent on his principles. His annual letters to his shareholders contain a lot of business wisdom.
I wrote about him covering the theme: Thinking as a means of leverage in https://leveragethoughts.substack.com/p/jeff-bezos-amazon-an...
BS dude. He wasn't laughed at. The man went to Princeton. Right next to other billionaires like Andy Florence. His family was rich etc... He was already a millionaire. It's not a rags-to-riches story by any stretch.

> This journey began some 27 years ago. Amazon was only an idea, and it had no name.
It had a name, and that name was "Cadabra".
It didn't become Amazon until Jeff watched a documentary about the Amazon River. His lawyer had already turned up his nose at "Cadabra", and Jeff was looking for something else.
It's also worth noting that the idea didn't grow over time - Jeff always intended to build something like "Sears for the 21st century". The bookstore was just the way in, not the long term plan.

We're you writing Perl primarily back in those days?

Automotive mechanics is a learning process, fixing cars is a side effect.
Practicing medicine is a learning process, healing people is a side effect.
See how ridiculous this sounds?
Truly is. I think egotistical maniacs are the biggest problem in tech.

Life choices always have an impact. I'm not judging you, because trust me, expensive areas like New York City (I love living there) are great, but blow during a pandemic since you're unable to enjoy what the actual city has to offer.
When I relocated back east, I made it a point to a) not live in the city since it'll be overpriced and I won't be able to enjoy the surrounding area and b) Price per square footage wouldn't make sense if I'm at home 24/7. So I went across the river and pay less for _a lot more_.
I know a lot of people are moving to Austin TX. They get a LOT more for their money. I was lucky to be on a month by month lease when the pandemic hit.
Murders spiked 50% in Austin last year.

USA here, it means nothing to me.
You're getting down voted but I feel it's unfair. You made me spit my coffee in a meeting. That is the true American spirit! The pandemic is affecting us all for sure.
Working code is a side effect of being a Software Engineer.
I can't tell that much of a difference between it and a blue yeti. The yeti, is definitely cheaper.
