I am a software engineer and writer living in the bay area (Silicon Valley). I'm a long-time Perl and C hacker who is venturing into learning Java and Russian for fun. I am the author of Programming Web Services With Perl for O'Reilly & Associates, as well as a handful of CPAN modules of varying popularity.

What is cred?

Cred is a virtual high five. It's a way to tell someone you think they are great at something, and let the whole world know. The more people who give a person cred, the higher their score will be. Learn more...

Rules

• Give cred only to people who've earned your trust.
• Avoid giving negative cred (see below).

Negative Cred?

Feeling the urge to give someone negative cred? Giving cred like "troll", "bully", or "creep" will boost their overall score and reduce your own. Also, if they are not part of the scored network, your cred may add them to the network. Consider making a claim about them instead. Please report abuse to the jyte team.
