Are all programmers sarcastic?

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm Mark?
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Then we have perfect synchronicity

My level of sarcasm is directly proportional to the level of incompetence around me. Sadly, that means that I am almost always sarcastic to some degree or other. ;) Marc

Not: if you consider the larval stage of Programmers, where they are only capable of being facetious, or the imago stage (as their newly inflated ego dries off) where they are only capable of being ironic.
«I'm asked why doesn't C# implement feature X all the time. The answer's always the same: because no one ever designed, specified, implemented, tested, documented, shipped that feature. All six of those things are necessary to make a feature happen. They all cost huge amounts of time, effort and money.» Eric Lippert, Microsoft, 2009

Maybe not all, but sarcasm is a common feature not only of programmers but also of most engineers. I'd guess it's the end result of having to deal on a daily basis with unreasonable expectations, unrecognized efforts, and the unforgiving nature of the Universe. Myself, I take solace in the fact that one day Skynet will come.

The only way a programmer can be non sarcastic is if his software has no users. If his software has no users, he is not a programmer.

If I say no, you'll just assume I'm being sarcastic... And so will I. So, "No."

What is this sarcasm you speak of, it's completely new to me ;)

It's a defense mechanism for all the crap we have to put up with from non-programmers (e.g. managers)
