in reply to Keeping sharp and fresh
It is less important to stay sharp in Perl in specific as it is to stay sharp in the arts of programming in general. For example, I've been exploring TDD over the past year and it's been making some fundamental changes to my programming style and expectations. TDD is applicable in any language, and I've been applying it to both Perl and JavaScript.
My criteria for good software:
In the specifically Perl camp, I like reading TheDamian's code. His style stretches my understanding, whcih is the point, right?
My criteria for good software:
- Does it work?
- Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
