Slipping away from the Perl community
I'm 43 years old now. I've been in open source for about twenty years. I'm too old and burned out for much of what goes on in open source, and specifically Perl.
I'm tired of all the arguing.
I'm tired of people who confuse being verbally abusive with "not getting along."
I'm tired of people who think that verbal abuse of another human is ever acceptable.
That means less contribution, technical and otherwise, from me, and from the others who have shared the same concerns with me regarding their own contributions.
And it makes me sad that I feel my community slipping away. And it makes me sad that Perl loses because of it.
