q{ Obviously perl golf is a game, in stark contrast to Best Practices. }

This is the disclaimer that I attach whenever I show off golfs... it does appear on my scratchpad (although It should be part of my sig too, I guess)

I'm 100% sure that those who write golfs don't use them in production. The only ones in question are those who look at an obfu and want to write their own and haven't encountered one in the wild yet... Perl programmers are smart enough to know that someone's going to have to read it...

The langauge is both a toy and a tool, people will saw their own arms off if they start playing with chainsaws, the same thing applies to obfus.

TheDamina opens PBP with q{ Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live }
