Re: [Omaha.pm] Classic CVS entry



I disagree,

If you have the guts to publicly post your work for the world to see and scrutinize --it makes you a better progammer. In my opinion open source programmers will always be a step ahead of all others (whoever that is) That's who I'll hire if I'm in that position.
