This appears to be a Perl RFC. Here's a link to the original post and discussion:

"Error establishing a database connection"

I looks like the site may have been hugged to death. Anyone have a mirror?

The Captain/Engineer analogy later on also has a similar problem. In my experience, engineering is always a major stakeholder in a (healthy) product roadmap. They often have good ideas for how to shape the product, they define what is feasible/costly, and have to build it in the end. On a ship, I don't imagine that engineering would be very involved in helping to set the direction, but I could be wrong.

Not sure why this is downvoted. I used this to subscribe to the author's RSS feed.

As a counter example, police unions seem to have played a large role in creating/perpetuating the problems so many have been protesting lately.
