in thread PERL as shibboleth and the Perl community

Impress me with how much you know, your attention to detail, and how you're the right person for the job. Don't try to impress me with distracting, inappropriate "creativity" that just looks like sloppiness. Take me seriously as a potential employer or team lead and I'll take you seriously as a capable professional.

    Conversely, if you weed me out based on esoterica, then perhaps we weren't a good match in the first place. Spelling it "PERL" does not a bad Perl programmer make.

      You're not disagreeing with me. But you are perhaps missing the point then. Try re-reading the head of this thread.

        If you re-read the post to which I replied, chromatic is implying if not saying right out that you spell it "PERL", you're at best sloppy and at worst incapable. That is the statement to which I am replying; nothing more, nothing less.
