Re: No longer a programmer

By personality I'm a poor fit for being a programmer.

Programmator nascitur non fit.

(~~I'm sure some of those who maintain latin as an alive language also invented a latin term for "programmer", but a several minutes of googling didn't help. So I left it in English.~~ Update: The correct term was suggested by jdporter.)

I studied Latin at school -we all do, in Italy- but I've long forgot it, with the exception of some idiomatic phrase, and for some reason, the praeneste fibula's inscription which I know by heart ever since I first saw it and I continue to like even though I know it's probably a hoax. Now, who's gonna find a link with Perl to pretend we're not too OT? (No, I don't think mentioning L::R::P is enough. How 'bout archaic Perl?)	[reply]
