You've been coding too long when...
-
...You are writing an email and you find yourself ending sentences with semi-colons ...You hit Ctrl-Shift-B after completing the email instead of Ctrl+Return ...You keep hitting tab and wonder why your words aren't autocompleting ...You find yourself trying to check if you're under Debug or Release before sending the email ...You realise the person reading the email is using a Mac and you get worried about whether they will be able to read your email. And you know I wish I was joking here. Jetlag and long nights are a killer. Anyone got any more?

I would find myself hitting Alt-F S out of habit on long emails to "save" the "document" (one of those habits one learns early when using this ultrareliable technology we have). On some email programs, that sends the email, so I used to send a lot of unfinished emails. Marc

...You hit Ctrl-Space to auto complete the words in your email :doh:

if you write x/y (at school!) you wonder if it's floating point or integer division when_you_separate_words_with_the_underline_character when your school notebook begins with coding header (eg. UTF-8) when you want to find a fragment in a book you scream "CTRL+F! CTRL+F!!" (no, really, I do xD)

So that's not just me then. I used to send a lot of apologies for unfinished emails.

You're typing an email and you press Escape then: - you press W to go to the next word... - you press $ to go to the end of the line... - you press x multiple times to delete that little mistake you just made... And last but not least... Your spell check keyboard shortcut is :w:ksh -n % It's not just .NET that's addictive, you know. :-D

...you try find and hit Ctrl+Z when you make mistake while filling paper form. ...you start counting from 0 in real life. ...you insist that 65536 is a round number in front of non-computer people.
Mostly, when you see programmers, they aren't doing anything. One of the attractive things about programmers is that you cannot tell whether or not they are working simply by looking at them. Very often they're sitting there seemingly drinking coffee and gossiping, or just staring into space. What the programmer is trying to do is get a handle on all the individual and unrelated ideas that are scampering around in his head. (Charles M Strauss)
