I have been working on servers whether professionally as a software engineer or as a pre-teen making a The Simpsons fan website for a couple decades now. I have never once used that `cgi-bin`, never opened it, and still have no idea wtf it is.

Back when we used to write CGI using Perl or straight up C.
