Rads in Repose had a funny post about Nerd attention deficit disorder. Here are a few of mine:
- I must type vigorously on the keypad. Just to let it know who is boss.
- I must be able to cross legs when coding.
- I must chew gum, or at least know where some is while coding.
- I have at least one emergency snack handy while coding
- I save all extra napkins, soy sauce packets, and crackers in drawer.
- Twirl mouse around screen while waiting for something to process.
- I hide from people in the bathroom stalls. If I’m on my way to a stall and I hear the door of the bathroom or stall open, I rush into the stall and lock the door.
- I must drink gallons of water while at work.
- All liquids must be in an enclosed container.
- I tap the left side of my keyboard with my middle finger when I’m thinking.
- I pick at my neck, all the time, not just coding.
- I must blog while coding.
- two spaces per indent, never tabs.
- Must remove extra spaces and unnecessary tag nesting.
