In which case, how about something more about how programmers generate innovative ideas as opposed to reusing safe, well explored ones? I find forcing my ideas into a different media helps as in the other media we have different expectations and constraints. For example, as a novice programmer but experienced innovator elsewhere I push programming ideas back and forth between Javascript and PHP, and then into photographs, graphs and blogs - and back. Presumably you have some two way relationship between Perl and your blogs, so do you find this relationship helps you in your programming? Does this give you some edge over programmers who keep their programming more separate from other parts of their life?
