Santa Claus as a developer

That is not an elf. That is a good looking lady in green and white striped stockings. :)

I was just wondering if Santa Claus had been a developer in his own time, how will Christmas look like? Any idea?

And Christmas tree with full of bugs

Are you telling me that's not what elves would look like if developers were in charge? :laugh:

I must adhere to the rules of the lounge and keep all my comments at a KSS level. In the future, please refrain from tempting me to reply with juvenile comments about elfin ladies with long legs and sexy... :)

It's no wonder Santa has a big sack.

I have no idea. All I do know is that he would leave everything till the very last moment and then pull an all-nighter on the eve of delivery.

A little creative recruitment, and a company dress code, and they could...

Then he would either be delivering presents in a 911 or a M3 since that is what Programmers with too much money seem to buy.

Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

Thanks Nikil!

There would be no easter eggs in his applications. Christmas Trees would be binary -- or fractals. If you received socks you could press undo. We wouldn't leave him milk. He would enter through a back door.

He's making a list, and checking it twice. Gonna find out who's naughty and nice...

List SantasList = new List();
foreach (var kid in TheWorld.Children)
{
SantasList.Add(kid);
}

SantasHelper.CheckList(SantasList);
SantasHelper.CheckList(SantasList);

var NaughtyList = SanatsList.Where(x => x.IsGood != true);
var NiceList = SantasList.Where(x => x.IsGood == true);

As for the children... He sees you when you're sleeping, He knows when you're awake. He knows when you've been bad or good, So be good for goodness sake!

public class Child
{
public String FirstName { get; set; }
public String LastName { get; set; }
public bool IsGood { get; set; }
public bool IsAwake { get; set; }
}

Although in looking at this, I'm sure its all wrong. Santa is probably a master at massively parallel computing; how else does he visit all of those girls and boys around the world in a single night?!

But there might be BUGS, Santa's little helpers... doesn't sum up, oh well.
