Another Monastery tale, not supposed to be directly
related to computer programming :)...
One of those sunny days, an apprentice went to Zen master, who was
sitting near a stream. The apprentice said:
- Look at me, Master. I've learnt a lot since my first day
in the Monastery. I wrote a lot of lines, and read those of my fellow monks.
But I can't see a spark of true beauty in my work
Then, the Apprentice pointed another monk, who was sleeping under a tree,
with an open book over his face, and said:
- Look at him. He doesn't know discipline, but some of his works
are like perls: examples of purity, clarity and perfection.
The Master said: - Artisans do what they want, artists do what
they can.
And the Apprentice gained enlightenment.

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).
