in reply to Advice to your younger self

I'd actually like to go back a bit further and spoken to my myself in 1987 just as I was going into my final year of college. My advice would have been:

  • Don't waste the next four years working on Windows software. Brush up your Unix skills and start using them prfessionally as soon as you can.
  • Take a look at this new language "Perl" that has just been released. Give yourself a head start by not waiting until 1996 to discover it.
  • Look out for the start of the World Wide Web in a few years time and pay particular attention to the introduction of the CGI protocol. It would be really good if nms came into existance before Matt's Script Archive.
