Well, I have actually fixed a couple in recent weeks but generally what you say is nonsense. You go back and give me edit notes on my 2,000+ nodes and I’ll gladly address anything particularly egregious that you find. This place is a journal of Perl more than a wiki. As I said, this broken attitude of time is a fixed point in relation to technical knowledge is part of why I find SO generally repugnant.

If someone isn’t clever enough to realize that advice from 2005 is all but guaranteed to be out of date in the tech world, he has no business working in the tech world. If someone doesn’t think advice from two years ago might possibly be dated, he will lose jobs to those who are more cautious, ambitious, and curious.
