in reply to Programming Perl as a Job: 8 hours a day is too much for me

Heh ;) .. I would offer up something like "claiming you'd rather go sunbathe proves you're not cut out to be a programmer", but that would be untrue and directly opposed to my point. Some folks tolerate some things better than others. I love chess, but my mind tends to skew if whenever I try to sit down and seriously learn it (I try this usually about once a year or so). I can sit and hack perl for 14-20 hours before I start to lose it, though .. guess it just depends on who you are.

I'll trade you 5 hours of perl tolerance for 400 points to my rating :D
