However for the many people out there I imagine it is hard to stick with The Right Way(tm) to do it when faced with time-line pressures or simply laziness. While the benefits of doing it The Right Way(tm) far out weigh the initial time invested that doesn't make it any easier to stick to it.

I fail to see how deviating from "the right way" would mean you program faster. Does it really save time not to do proper indentation? (If you set ':set ai' in vi, most of the work is done for you anyway). Do you save significant time not using properly scoped variables? Saving time using symbolic references is something I find hard to believe. I'm not taking any future consideration into account, I'm talking about programming right now, with a 5 pm deadline.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
