[Chicago-talk] Qualify Skills?

[Chris McAvoy]

Thanks for the replies.  I ended up replying B+, which based on some
of the responses sounds pretty reasonable.  I classify it like this:

* Can comprehend code at first glance.
* Can code in a natural way, i.e. doesn't need to consult a reference
at all times.
* Can code regex's without a reference.
* Understanding of mod_perl
* Strong understanding of OO concepts, lots of OO module usage,
moderate OO coding in Perl.

Some things that I feel like would qualify A status:
* Contributed "good" code to CPAN.
* Testing methodology
* Optimization
* Lots and lots of OO coding in Perl / mod_perl.

And here's a few hilarious jokes:
* Isn't afraid to post to Chicago.PM
* Went to a Chicago.PM meeting one time.
* Has some Perl books.
* Has a Perl t-shirt.
* Breathes excessivly through mouth.
* Snorts while laughing.
