Developer and Smoking
-
Someone said, it is impossible to be a good developer until he smokes. Are you a good developer? My fellow developers with me are used to smoke, however, I never saw anyone who is good in development and avoid smoking. Sameers (theAngrycodeR) Need custom software?

how can you be a great developer if you spend half of your time smoking???...here, smoking in the office is not allowed, so while you are smoking, you can't be developing code (unless you take a laptop outside)...smoking requires at least one hand, so you would need to be a real good one handed typist...or risk getting ashes in the keyboard...and when you should be developing code, your thinking about how many more minutes to the next break so you can light up again :doh: Steve

Maybe it's a reference to coding until burn out or burning the midnight oil. :~ Or maybe it was one of things people say that you're supposed roll your eyes at and ignore. :rolleyes: BW

Maybe they were talking about smoked Salmon - that's good stuff. I don't know if it helps your coding, though. Regards, Nish

Naw, that's a myth. It just makes you think you're a good programmer.

So does talking on the phone, being in a meeting, talking to customers, on the whiteboard ... Greatest developers I`ve seen are the ones spending the less time typing code (during office time).

I think that someone who said that is just addicted to smoking. I avoid smoking like the plague, because it pretty much is. And if that makes me bad in development, well, I think I can live with that. Empahsis on live. :) - Phil****
Smoking is pretty much like The Plague, eh? Smoking is a viral infection? Huh..?? I never would have guessed... ...I guess my parents didn't get me immunized for that one. At least I'm free of Small Pox; that's good enough for me. That statement presents another odd point for consideration. When The Plagues swept through Euprope in the...what? 1300's? 1400's or so?...tobacco was not yet introduced to Europe. I'd have to research that to know for sure, and I don't have the time, so I won't. Back to my code...let's see where was I...? Ah yes...!

Sigh. No, I didn't mean that Captain Literal. To "Avoid something like the plague" is a local colloquialism to mean "to keep away from as much as you possibly bloody well can" And my folks are in the same boat as yours. - Phil -- modified at 0:07 Friday 7th July, 2006 (Just added in an extra explanation about what I mean)

Utter baloney. Only idiots smoke; idiots can't be good developers.

I think someone mistook the real saying.... "It is impossible to be a good developer until you smoke a computer." (as in computer slang for "let the smoke out" "burn up" etc.) I have only known about 1 in 50 developers who smoke. But all the quality programmers I know have overloaded and smoked a computer. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

Are you naturally stupid, or did you have to practice just for your message today? Maybe you and the guy that is held back from being a good developer by not being able to type should get together...

Is it necessary to let one hand always busy while you are smoking? In this third world, there are many things invented for example "ash tray" where you can place your cigerate after having some smoke and continue working. I do that always and I know, I work faster than any other (atleast certified by my clients :->). I usually smoke a packet in a day (and in all day, I spend about 10 hours sleeping. enough time or I should increase it:zzz:) which includes not more than 8-10 hours of work. Apart from the jokes and other non serious words, I believe that developers must be allowed to smoke on their seats. I bet you, it will increase their ability to programme. I am a good developer btw!

Yeah, you're stupid. Only an idiot would associate smoking (or typing skills) with being a good programmer.

Yeah, because you couldn't think of anything else that was actually worth saying. Go back to your mud hut and stop stealing electricity and an internet connection from your neighbor.

Come on! analysing habbits of people doesn't make anyone stupid. If it was, then there are many many research making peoples are stupid.

I heard so from many peoples locally, so I just thought to know globally. If you dont like smoking, thats a good sign. But it doesn't mean smokers live in "mud hut" and "steal electricity and internet connection from neighbours". BTW, smoking is worst or drinking? though both are bad, which one is more? (just another question if it dont make you bother ;P) I smoke, but dont drink. Sameers Need custom software? Contact DevelopersINN[^] Need to add reminders for your Outlook emails?
