    my own language 10/144

  12. Powered by Rabbit 1.0.8 　 Just for Fun 11/144

  13. Powered by Rabbit 1.0.8 　 Recently, a guy came and

    blamed me on Twitter 12/144

  14. Powered by Rabbit 1.0.8 　 “Why did you invented Ruby,

    where we had Perl?” 13/144

  15. Powered by Rabbit 1.0.8 　 “It was redundant, reinvention of

    the wheel” 14/144

  16. Powered by Rabbit 1.0.8 　 “It was waste of man-power

    that is limited resource” 15/144

  17. Powered by Rabbit 1.0.8 　 “So, many IT people feel

    negative about your work” 16/144

  22. Powered by Rabbit 1.0.8 　 Very few among them code

    21/144

  23. Powered by Rabbit 1.0.8 　 But it's not a bottleneck

    22/144

  24. Powered by Rabbit 1.0.8 　 We have more rare resource

    23/144

  25. Powered by Rabbit 1.0.8 　 It's Motivation 24/144

  26. Powered by Rabbit 1.0.8 　 We are not machines 25/144

  27. Powered by Rabbit 1.0.8 　 We need driving force to

    accomplish great things 26/144

  28. Powered by Rabbit 1.0.8 　 What's your motivation? 27/144

  36. Powered by Rabbit 1.0.8 　 It might sound spooky 35/144

  37. Powered by Rabbit 1.0.8 　 No one should laugh at

    motivation 36/144

  38. Powered by Rabbit 1.0.8 　 Some may call it reinventing

    the wheel 37/144

  39. Powered by Rabbit 1.0.8 　 Go ahead, if you are

    motivated 38/144

  40. Powered by Rabbit 1.0.8 　 And it will introduce diversity

  44. Powered by Rabbit 1.0.8 　 But the world without diversity

    is unpleasant 43/144

  45. Powered by Rabbit 1.0.8 　 What if we force people

    to focus on Perl? 44/144

  46. Powered by Rabbit 1.0.8 　 Like the world of 1984

    45/144

  47. Powered by Rabbit 1.0.8 　 Diversity is the cost for

    innovation 46/144

  48. Powered by Rabbit 1.0.8 　 No one understands Innovation 47/144
