You might be a programmer if…

  1. You immediately complain that this should be subscripted as zero.
  2. Most people say “Go To Hell,” but you tell people to redirect to /dev/null.
  3. By the time you’ve gotten here in the document, you’ve run Tidy or a similar app to check my X/HTML skills.
  4. The statement (0x2b||!0x2b) makes sense to you.
  5. You find 4 funny.
  6. You note with disgust that it always evaluates to true, since 0x2b != 0.
  7. Point 6 disgusts you, because under languages other than C++ (e.g. Java), it would throw an exception, runtime error, etc.
  8. Both points 6 and 7 disgust you, because (0x2b||!0x2b) isn’t a statement.

I’ve truncated the original posting (received via email; thanks, Stephan!) to keep it short and sweet.

If you’re not a programmer, just move along…
