I think it was '96? I was working at Taos Mountain at the time. At that time, Taos had a reasonably close relation to Randal Schwartz ( https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/learning-perl-6th/97814... ) and he gave a talk for contractors which was titled "Just Another (convicted) Perl Hacker".
In that talk he told of his time at Intel and running crack on a shiny new sparc and all the problems that caused.
The focus of it was a "how not to get into trouble as a contractor".
Somewhere, I've still got my pink camel book with duct taped edges (for durability) with his signature on the inside title page.
