> Substantial refactoring on the eve of a deadline
> Fondness for films directed by Stanley Kubrick
> Commits changes to the repository that consist only of comments
> Pauses "The Andromeda Strain" at the part about the sliver of paper getting between the bell and the ringer and grins like a madman
> Has the German versions of "Der Kommissar" and "99 Lufballons" on their iPod (and, er... their native language is English)
> Giggles when someone says the phrase "This is recorded on sticky-tape and rust"
> Willingly throws away weeks or months of work in order to adopt another programmer's superior code
> A cubicle or desk populated with toys that came from ThinkGeek
I hate to be the first comment and be a negative comment but there is _WAY_ too much subjective/whimsy/useless filler in this article. Apply your coding standards and cut this article down to 10% of its original size.
