I was at a networking meeting the other day where someone asked me about my approach to webdesign. That is perl (specifically CGI::Application) on the server side if I can get away with it and javascript/yui on the client side. I guess this would be the case for a lot of monks. The guy was smart, intelligent and uptodate. He described me approach as very "hard core" and "old school". I can think of a lot of things to commend my approach but I wonder if this is how other monks would describe themselves and if they feel proud or ashamed of it?
