1. The Unusual Traits of a Developer Boyfriend/Husband by Samantha Degges @samanthadegges
2. He is Anti-Social if....... -he says "Why socialize when we can code?" -he talks to you online when you're in the same room -he attends so few social events that people start to doubt you are even with this guy -he prefers the company of animals over people -he only ONLY talks to strangers if he knows they are a developer too
4. He is a minimalist if... -he wears the same thing everyday ex: wears shorts and a t-shirt ex: wears shorts at his own wedding -he does not own anything but a laptop and bed -he eats the same thing everyday -so much that restaurants know his name -orders food in bulk cases from Amazon -ex: gets sick when he misses his daily doses of caffeine (see www.rdegges.com)
6. He is talking to himself when: -cursing out the computer when coding at home - yelling about insufficient "comments" on opensource code -angrily mumbles about replacing someones job with a "two line bash script" -screaming about people using "incorrect syntax" in their code -quietly sings along to "Damn it feels good to be a gangsta" from OfficeSpace with headphones on
8. He's a geek if he thinks it's hot when: -you sign up for a cloudsharing platform like Google Play -you sign up for CodeAcademy and he says, "I love you more now." -you explain correctly what he does for a living - you agree to get rid of all your belongings to pursue a life of minimalism when living together -you rub lotion on the calluses that he has on his hands from typing! (lame!)
