    The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. It’s terrible and fascinating at the same time. What I took away from it is that there is an inherent value in things you build yourself and a moral right to own your creations. I know the book is flawed in many ways, but I still think it’s an interesting read. Wouldn’t exactly call it my bible, but I don’t think any book fits that description.

    I played around with Perl when I was still in school, almost 20 years ago. Even then it was pretty legacy. I remember fixing a bug in a Perl script during an internship, because I was literally the only person in the whole department who could understand Perl code. I suppose it was used for sysadmin and web scripting but has since been replaced by PHP, Javascript and Python. I wouldn’t bet any money on Perl being relevant in the future.
