My sins:

* Putting the variable's type in its name, eg: "tasks_list", "pid_dict" etc.

* When an "if" statement has only one statement in its body, write them both as a single line.

* C-style for-loops in languages which don't actually support them.

* Still writing new projects in Perl sometimes!

I for one am looking forward to eternal damnation -- I will have the rest of time to become my best self, and powerful incentive to make progress.

Bergstrom took their post down. Fortunately I still had it open in a tab, so took a screenshot.
