No time to wait http://showmetheco.de/index.rss Just code Twist 0.1 Having fun programming is overestimated http://showmetheco.de/articles/2011/11/having-fun-programming-is-overestimated.html A "web framework that makes development fun", a "fun way to program", a "fun introduction". I am tired of this fun programming. Development shouldn't be fun, if I want fun I go and play football with my friends.

    Fun is an ephemeral emotion. I feel it right now, it doesn't have deep
    roots. Doesn't really go anywhere, it doesn't feed me in a deep way. It
    feels good, I like having fun... but it's different than joy.

    -- Kent Beck "Ease at Work"

Fun is something that makes you feel happy for a short period of time but doesn't change you and/or improve your skills. What's the point of fun programming? Suppose I use a framework, library or a module. Should I have fun by using it? No. Instead it should bring a joy by being stable, understandable, flexible etc.

"Fun" is a bad smell for a project.

So I built a simple website that generates your Perl résumé based on CPAN experience, activity and impact. Runs on Dancer btw.

So check it out http://perlresume.org!

Any comments, suggestions and critics are as usual very very welcome.
