Santa Claus as a developer

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

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?!

And instead of leaving a brand new xbox 360, he would leave a hand-crafted wooden Trojan horse.
