(jeffa) 2Re: Should We Have A "Red Flags" Area?

I hope that all chants of strict and warnings are directed towards those that don't know why they should use them, rather than those that do know why they shouldn't use them. This is not always the case of course ... but, i like to think of our chants as a means of undoing all the bad habits instilled in the late 1990's by Matt Wright's Scripts. ;)

I agree with you in that i don't think we need a "Red Flag" area. Besides, merlyn does a pretty darned good job of flagging "Red Flag" code without such an area ... /duck

All too often "use strict" and "use warnings" is chanted without addressing the problem the OP has. Or the problem is addressed, but whether "use strict" or "use warnings" was used is irrelevant. Wearing your seatbelts is a good thing, but giving that advice to someone who has problems getting anywhere because he's out of gas is completely irrelevant, and counterproductive. Abigail	[reply]
