Developer and Smoking
-
Someone said, it is impossible to be a good developer until he smokes. Are you a good developer? My fellow developers with me are used to smoke, however, I never saw anyone who is good in development and avoid smoking. Sameers (theAngrycodeR) Need custom software? Contact DevelopersINN[^] Need to add reminders for your Outlook emails? Try Outlook Personal Assistant[^]
Maybe it is just a movement to reduce the number of developers.. Sure smoke all your want ;) Actually, I just think someone got mixed up on the quote and probably had nothing to do with "smoking" originally. Anyone with a brain cell above a flea would not consider such a stupid statement! Rocky <>< Latest Post: Visual Studio 2005 Standard, whats missing? Blog: www.RockyMoore.com/TheCoder/[^]

I avoid smoking like the plague, because it pretty much is
It's that bit in bold that caught my eye and I was fooling around with you about. Oh, and that's Sargeant Literal....I work for a living. What boat are our parents in together? The divorced after 30 years and Dad remarried into a whole new, more peferrable family and Mom is off with her Liberated Lady freinds kyaking and swinging from trees in Costa Rica boat? Your parents too? ...ahhhh Family Dynamics....wadda ya gonna do....?? Jim
Oh, whoops. My mistake. Sorry Sarge! And you alluded to your parents smoking, so I was just inidcating my folks did (or used to, as of 5 weeks ago). And nah, my mum has never been much of a kayaker, so it can't be all that similar. Hmm, kayaking, that is something I haven't done in a while. I guess my wife has had an extreme effet on me. I never used to mind smoking that much, since I was around it all the time, but now that passive smoking has pretty bad physical sideeffects on my wife, I take it a little personally. - Phil

No...I was at first referring to my folks not getting me immunized against the communicable viral infection of Cigarette Smoking....I kinda wish they had. My father smoked when I was a child, but just up and cold-turkey quit one day when it pissed him off. I wish I knew how he did that. I picked up smoking 20 years ago with no influence or help from pops; it was all peer pressure and the appearance of being "cool" that got me started. For the past ten years or more, quitting is something I've wanted to do and tried to do. Despite some huge personal hurdles overcome in my life, quitting smoking has proved the most difficult thing I've ever faced. Odd when contrasted against some massive lessons of personal capability and strength of character in a number of life-and-death situations, that something as seemingly-petty as cigarettes would be my most daunting challenge..... Oh well...onwards and upwards, I continue my life's stuggle.... Jim
