I am a programmer by education but have not programmed in years. Sometimes I need to get
my point across to people in my team that something can be done. The fact that I could prototype
in Perl (now Python) certainly makes it harder for others to argue that this or that cannot be done
in (java/PHP) or that it would take a disproportionate amount of time to carry out...
