I read this, and then wondered why it managed to get on the front page on HN. Just because it mentions perl and C++?

    Big deal. Guy is broke, guy finds job, guy gets money. Not exactly newsworthy, even if it does have a few tech buzzwords.

  Forget HN, the question is how it managed to get on the front page of anything. What's the significance of his first customer dying? If there was a point in this story, I completely missed it.

    To me, it's a story about getting old. Has anyone you worked with died?
