Huh. I'm a programmer, and once in a blue moon I miiiight become a Hardcore Programmer ... and this kind of list is a fantastic reminder of the gulf in perceptions between actual real-world programmers and your typical non-techie boss. This list is 80% bullshit. That's totally fine, as long as you acknowledge that it is in fact bullshit and you're just entertaining this bullshit for a laugh, I'm all for hilarious bullshit; but holy crap more than a few people actually think us programmers do this stuff. It's got juuuust enough truth to be utterly misleading.
