How to spot a programmer
Awesome thread on stackoverflow. Here's my favourite comment so far:A bit off-topic but fun: Walk up to a (busy) colleague (programmer) and just say Hello and behold:
Blank stare - you can almost see their minds unwind as they swap out their current short-term memory to persistent long-term storage - then a moment of REM - rapid eye movement - before they awake from their thoughts completely, and first then they are capable of processing input from you.
I respond like that all the time!
