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?

You are writing an email and you find yourself ending sentences with semi- colons
Been there, done that...
Lots and lots of nested parentheses
LOL of course - it's only logical to use them in English.
You begin lines with comment characters
One time when I was writing a college essay and had to stop for dinner, I marked my stopping point: //Concluding sentence here...

Instead of relaxing when you're away from the computer, you optimize and re-check recent code blocks in your head.

No joke - I've written some of my best algorithms in a canoe ten miles from the nearest computer. I don't even consciously think about it - the idea just suddenly hits me when I'm nowhere near my work.

You write a line of code, and comment it using a different coding language.

Nothing wrong here, I occasionally add C code as a comment to explain what VB is supposed to do... :)

Call me stupid, but what's wrong with that? Is there something I'm missing, because I use that shortcut all the time...

You use #include "person@company.com" in an email instead of CCing them Just last week, I woke up in a stupor trying to figure out how to set a breakpoint on my noisy alarm clock. I have a stack of papers on my desk that needed to be sorted by date, and I spent more time trying to figure out the most efficient sort algorithm than I actually spent sorting them.

... you add comments instead of parenthesis /*don't say you've never done it!*/ ... you try to attach a file to an email by typing "ResourceManager..." ... you think it would be a good idea to create a branched copy of your timesheets

Your favorite language looks like this... 01 Input-Record. 05 Input-Key PIC X(05) COMP-X. 05 Input-Data PIC X(75). 01 Output-Record. 05 Output-Key PIC 9(13). 05 Output-Data PIC X(75). ... Move Input-Key to Output-Key. Move Input-Data to Output-Data. Write Output-Record.

Post that one on my other favorite programming site - gamedev.net. I guarantee you'll get a TON of people who think just like that.

Have joined there, strange how I used to go to gamedev for tutorials about coding my own games but never joined. See you there.

So that's not just me then. I used to send a lot of apologies for unfinished emails.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.
And (late as always) send unfinished apologies for unfinished emails. And unfinished emails apologising for unfinished apologies for unfinished emails. What was that about recursion and stack overflow?
