it isn't just mine. and since i have been coding for 37 years, done
training, review code for placements and more, my opinion carries a
little weight with those who know me. you may not agree but that puts
you on the side of not appreciating what code quality means. i can see i
won't be helping you with any perl jobs in the future as that is an
attitude i can't support.
just to clarify, here are the rules simple enough for anyone to
understand.
code is for people, not computers.
code is for other people, not yourself.
think about those for a bit or a few years maybe. they will eventually
ring true to you.
