I was wandering and wondering today on the monastery when I've realized something:

I've lost a XP point (thing that nowadays doesn't happen so often) and I've got momentaneously mad about it. That's when I've got this insight.

I mean, I'm 200+ points from "saint" (quotes here so religious people don't feel offended), and as far as I feel so proud of me to finally achieve the "saint" level, I don't feel like one. I have many MANY more things to learn with Perl before I can call myself one.

So I was thinking: "Ok, I'll be a saint in a couple of months/years and I'm sure I WILL brag about it, but this isn't really important". I mean, the important thing is that I'll code Perl better and better and I'll understand more of the language.

For me, as a self-made Perl programmer, that is more than I could ever ask, since I have an enormous respect for the monastery.

I just had to get that off my chest.

Long live the Perl Monks!

Regards,
