monkdiscuss kvale Confession can cleanse the soul and free a guilty heart. It has been almost two years since [id://179427], the latest in a tradition started by [chromatic] in [id://77417]. With all the new monks, I think it's time for another. Feel free to post anonymously, if the pain of a public confession would be too great. <p> Forgive me, fellow monks, for I have sinned. This is my first public confessional and there is much to cleanse. <ul> <li> I have indiscriminately used all my remaining votes at the end of the day just to gain XP. <li> I have tossed off quick replies to questions to be one of the first, and then filled in a better reply later. <li> I have tossed off quick replies to questions to be one of the first, without properly checking my facts or testing my code. <li> I have edited nodes without saying I did so. <li> I have engaged in extended Re:^N arguments that did not add much new information. <li> I have withheld useful information from an OP because the node was 'stale' and not worth much XP. <li> I have made hit-and-run comments in the CB without taking time to engage in a real conversation. <li> I envy [tilly] and [Ovid] their excellent writing style. <li> I tend to read and favor nodes by monks I know well. <li> I have prematurely optimized code. <li> I have written useful modules, but have been too lazy to submit them to CPAN. </ul> If there was something you did that was against the good spirit of Perlmonks or the Perl community, post here. We will understand. <div class="pmsig"> <div class="pmsig-145001"> <p> -Mark </div></div>
