Story time!

I wanted the button to work. But it wouldn't. I tried JavaScript. I tried PHP. I came across a billion answers, each more of a workaround than the last. None of them worked. Or, rather, none of them worked in the way I wanted them to work.

But then I find something promising. A perl script. Simple installation. Apparently functional. But when I clicked the Download Now button, BRRP ERROR 404

So the next step was getting to archive.org. Three or four different searches, most all of them negative.

And then, finally, after all those hours of irritation, peace! A mirror! An old, currently nonexistent mirror!

Installation was a snap. Getting to that point? Not so much.

And I didn't have to learn anything scary and new :D

Do programmers get mad when people avoid learning programming languages?
