It occured to me the other day that I am a pretty good perl programmer.
Or so I think. I then realized that a few months ago I thought the same
thing, and yet looking back I can say that I have come a long way
(certainly in no small part thanks to the Monastery). And prior to that
I also thought I was a good perl programmer. And looking back, well let's
just say he didn't use strict. etc. etc.
Is this a common experience? Does the nature of programming and
the fast-pace of computer-related fields contribute to this phenomenon?
Does it in fact, induce it? Am I (are we) destined to walk this path
evermore; ants on mobius? Who is Ru Paul?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
