: Programmers are fond of coding, as we already know. Sometimes, they even work for long hours when deadlines are looming large over their heads. Well, there is nothing bad in coding for long time as it's the passion for their work. But long programming schedules can have negative impacts on one's personal life too. Here are eight signs which show that a programmer is coding much more than required
1. Eating, breathing and dreaming code:
After long coding, brain starts to think about it at wrong places and at wrong times. In such cases, people dream code, start texting code, start debugging in dreams and also think about code while taking a bath.
2. No idea about time:
If you lose track of the time of the day then you must have been coding too long. Sometimes such coders even don't get to know when night passes by and a day gets over. Basically, such coders find no difference between night and daytime.
3. Apply coding terms in everything:
Sometimes coders use coding terms in writing such things which are nowhere related to variables, functions, methods, classes and any other programming matter.
4. You get dis-illusioned with non-programming languages:
If your native speaking language sounds less interesting than your native programming language, then you must have coded too long. People face problems with the syntax of the native language while talking to other people and common English words get mixed up with programming terms too.
5. Counting starts from 0:
You tend to forget that every list of things in an array are not elements and they need to be counted in the most efficient way possible. Usually the hard-working coders look for point No.0 in any numbered list and counting starts from 0, instead of 1.
6. Comment notation becomes daily part of life:
Such coders usually “comment out” things from regular documents too as well as everyday conversations. In every situation such coders use '//' to write comments and while writing a paper too, they comment out lines.
7. Favourite keyboard shortcuts being used in real life:
After coding for long time, programmers use some of the beloved programming keyboard shortcuts in such situations when there is no keyboard involved. They type ':wq' or ':q' in the browser for closing tabs and keep on pressing tab everywhere after writing incomplete names.
8. Using programming punctuations everywhere:
Coders, after coding for long time, expect that special programming operators and characters will show their magic in real life too. After writing yesterday's date, they add '++' to it, or they use == instead of = in a normal conversation. They also put semi colon after every sentence instead of a full-stop and so on.
