It both fascinates and baffles me that you seem to believe that it is your place to assess the validity of how people spend their time on projects. Between this and dumping on the idea of improving documentation, it's like you fancy yourself a self-appointed supervisor of Perl projects, and you think everyone must do only those things you consider valid.
What is it that gives you this idea?
And to the others reading this thread, let me make this clear: educated_foo's tactics don't get anything useful done.

The problem I have with how you spend your time is that it makes so much noise per unit of useful work....
Good to know. How many commits do I have to make or modules to write or patches to apply or questions to answer before I can write a blog post? A book? A comment on a web site?
Also, can you give me a concrete definition of "useful" work? I'd hate to waste my time on something that doesn't help you out right now, and then slip up and post a link on identi.ca.

let's make the following analogy. let's say that code is the real axis, and talky-talk-talk is the imaginary axis. keep it real :)

You are so right, how dare chromatic spend his free time the way he wants to? And write about something that he finds interesting in public! And he expresses his own opinion, not yours, the shameless man! I bet he uses strict in his PERL scripts too!
You are fighting the fight of the truly just here, do not give up! The time you spend writing offensive nonsense helps Perl 5 immensely! Keep on doing it and you will save Perl 5, and people will continue to write buggy little admin scripts like the ones you prefer for all time! | [reply] |
