I'm old enough to have begun using #unix before #linux, and in the first years, I used *nix (well, SunOS, Solaris, and Digital OSF/1, to say more precisely) for so long. I'm what nowadays is considered a Veteran Unix Admin or #vua. I'm still curious enough to stay updated about current tech, but I wonder how many people out there in the #fediverse are still passionate about tech novelties but even cultivate legacy knowledge such as #C, #Perl, #Tcl, #autoconf and #automake, #m4 and above all why?
