Do programmers have cooties?
-
Old girlfriend from high school friended me on Facebook recently. Haven't spoken to her in 20+ years. She asked me what I'm doing now. Told her I'm a computer programmer...that was 2 months ago...never heard from her again... Seriously, do us programmers have a disease or something? Next time I'm going to say I'm an international spy who drives a Maserati... :cool:
Only in the USA apparently. In Europe, we are revered as sex-gods.
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together. Manfred R. Bihy: "Looks as if OP is learning resistant."

You should de-friend her immediately. That will initiate the stalking. Late night phone calls will ensue shortly. :)

Do you need to visit a hospital to accomplish that? It sounds dangerous...

Usually it's best performed surgically by a professional medical team, but I believe there are DIY kits available. :)

Does this mean you will be applying for the newly opened position at the IMF? :)

seriously speaking, I love programming, because I feel that it gives me power to build interesting things and do not give much thought to the social stigma associated with it:)

I think that's a job for an accountant: Paging Doctor Dalek! Doctor Dalek to the Lounge!

After that amount of time, she probably forgot what a geek you were back then. You reminded her of that fact when you said that you were a computer programmer. :laugh:
It was broke, so I fixed it.

By day, the programmer; by night, the hammer.

Good to know. Is there a wiki entry describing this procedure? There really should be.

Actually, "game programmer" does have some appeal.

Sounds like a book full of faces... not very appealing...

I was lucky, married before I became a programmer... :)

I received strange looks and comments in high school when I would program during our free "study" period. However, after thinking about some of my former classmates that I knew reasonably well, I'm one of the few who studied at a university and has a successful career. Not saying you can't have a successful career in some other field and without getting a degree, but many of my classmates lacked a drive to accomplish anything in life...at least it seems that way.
