Anonymous Monk,

I am not sure that your remark is totally fair.

Nobody learns in a vacumn. If this monk submits his work to us asking for a review then we have to admire his courage! If you look through the monastery you know why I say that - some monks can be pretty scathing in their comments.

For something like 30 years as an engineer and scientist I figured that every piece of work I did was subjected to peer review. As a young engineer I even had to review work of my seniors, sometimes by boss or his boss. I caught the ocassional error and was very proud when I did. Most of all I learned a huge amount from the process. I hope this monk learns form teh process as well, and should he ever have the ocassion to present himself and his code at an interview it may be a selling point to say that he learns a lot by having others review and comment on his code.

If he faced me for an interview he would get good marks for saying that! He might get even better marks for showing the code as originally presented and the code as cleaned up - showing just what he learned.
