The EXPERT PROGRAMMER manifesto

Name: Anonymous 2007-08-12 12:35 ID:ogjn6+xp

1.    I program, sometimes fanatically, writing whole Enterprise Solutions in one day, yet no one must find out.
2.    I shamelessly rape all forms of media in order to obtain information on the latest and greatest programming languages, taking care to keep a bushel of disposable e-mail addresses at hand in case a membership is required to view certain sites.
3.    No, I don’t want to read your blog.
4.    I may be a jock, nerd (but unlikely if still in closet), cheerleader, 30-year-old-pervert (i.e. Dad), or the quiet foreign kid at the back of the class who doesn’t seem to understand the language but still manages to surpass you in all endeavors. You’ll never know.
5.    My programming schedule is similar to the Christ-in-dessert diet, in the sense that temptation is gallantly denied over long periods of time; however, likenesses cease sporadically when I will lapse in to a programming binge similar to the collapse of a desperately obese person’s diet.
6.    In school, I pay no attention to the various programming memes or clubs as the case may be, and secretly fear their fanatic members, seeing them as appalling premonitions of a bleak future. (I must stress now that I have no desire to become a constant bubbly tribute to hacker culture, sporting pants with indecent amounts of holes and constantly dropping various programming jokes that have been picked from the Internet: i.e. ``my other car is a cdr''…etc.)
7.    I understand and wield a powerful editor (Vim), in a similar way to a +12 mage wielding a wand of protection.
8.    I wish to be The Flying Sussman and slightly older, only so that my hobby will feel more natural.
9.    I don’t download, only share.
10.    My biggest fear is discovery of my ignominious secret and widespread distribution of it to all my friends and peers by means of particularly descriptive and colourful pamphlets.

I don’t want to know you, do not seek me out. Though tempting, clues to my secret identity have not been laced throughout the preceding literature.
