Confession can cleanse the soul and free a guilty heart. It has been
almost two years since Return of the Confessional, the latest in a tradition
started by chromatic in Confessional. 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.
Forgive me, fellow monks, for I have sinned. This is my first public confessional and there is much to cleanse.
- I have indiscriminately used all my remaining votes at the end of the day just to gain XP.
- I have tossed off quick replies to questions to be one of the first, and then filled in a better reply later.
- I have tossed off quick replies to questions to be one of the first, without properly checking my facts or testing my code.
- I have edited nodes without saying I did so.
- I have engaged in extended Re:^N arguments that did not add much new information.
- I have withheld useful information from an OP because the node was 'stale' and not worth much XP.
- I have made hit-and-run comments in the CB without taking time to engage in a real conversation.
- I envy tilly and Ovid their excellent writing style.
- I tend to read and favor nodes by monks I know well.
- I have prematurely optimized code.
- I have written useful modules, but have been too lazy to submit them to CPAN.
