Imitation, flattery, you know how the saying goes. Seems that our Neil tapped into something good, for the upcoming New York City Hackaton is going to have its own mini-CPAN PR Challenge -- which I find brilliant. In other news, Perl 5.22 is around the corner (yay!), and so is conference season. Hmmm... Which means I should probably begin to see what my Summer schedule should look like. And so should you, dear reader, so should you. ~ `/anick Yanick Champoux |

Discussion

by David Mertens (DCMERTENS) David Mertens uses a punishment-and-reward system to get things done. Using the StickK website, he sets himself some goals. He manages to acheive them? A little more code enriches the Perl world. He fails? The site donates to the Perl Foundation using his credit card. Both ways, we win. I like that. |
