Do programmers have cooties?

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

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.
Well, can't argue with that assessment! :laugh:

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:
Actually, "game programmer" does have some appeal.

What is this Facebook you speak of?

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

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.

That seriously depends on the girl. But those that it works on are keepers.

If they were all faces of pretty girls, wouldn't be bad. :-O

Well, with programmers been known for having very little sex, she's probably just worried she'll get a headache[^]. LINK ABSOLUTELY NOT SFW! Don't say I haven't warned you...

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:)

rather than that effect, I get shock and surprise. Being 6'3" and around 280 lbs, I spent 20 years as an outdoor roughneck before getting into programming(and probably still looking the part somewhat), that is the LAST thing people expect me to say... lol its quite funny sometimes.
Programming is a race between programmers trying to build bigger and better idiot proof programs, and the universe trying to build bigger and better idiots, so far... the universe is winning.

Wednesday night I was in my improv / acting class and our teacher went around and asked everyone their professions. My girlfriend said, "web developer" and everyone was like, "oh, very cool, fun stuff" etc. I was next and said "software developer." Crickets... No response, moving on. The next 2 were lawyers, which is apparently extremely interesting to everyone else, too. It's like everyone assumes we have Aspurgers or autism, and that it's contagious. I went on to kill it in my scenes against people that studied acting, though, so whatever. :cool:

That's a normal pattern for Facebook. Many people want to have as many "friends" as possible and they friend everyone they can find but never talk to them. On the other hand when she asked what you were doing and you replied did you end your reply with a question like "What are *you* doing now" or did you drone on about yourself for paragraphs and never keep the conversation going? :)
There is no failure only feedback
