This is why I refuse to criticize devs willing to do things I am not; or am unqualified to even try. I suggest that 2020 amped up a lot of anxiety, frustration, fear, and helplessness and therefore anger so it’s partly just bad timing.

I encourage other devs to apply gentle peer pressure to the angry set trying to steer Perl from the backseat. Something must change. Either be the change or leave others alone to try to find the right path.
