<ol>
<li>I consider 256 to be a nice, round number.</li>
<li>I become annoyed when 10K means 10,000.</li>
<li>I’ve written a useless program just for the “fun” of it.</li>
<li>In fact, I prefer writing useless programs.</li>
<li>I start counting from 0 and end up with one less than everyone else.</li>
<li>I write equals as <code>==</code> and not equals as <code>!=</code>.</li>
<li>I understand <code>(0x2b||!0x2b)</code> and find it funny.</li>
<li>I know where to find the <code>{braces}</code> keys without looking.</li>
<li>I call text phrases “strings.”</li>
<li>I dream in code.</li>
<li>I refer to eating and drinking as <em>uploading</em>.</li>
<li>I refer to using the bathroom as <em>downloading</em>.</li>
<li>I frequently use words like <em>iteration, implementation, contiguous, trivial, version, array, polymorphic, parse</em>, and <em>WTF </em>in casual conversations.</li>
<li>When someone asks me what languages I speak, I reply: <em>“Python, C++, JavaScript, and Solidity.”</em></li>
<li>I hear the word “Scuzzy” and don’t think it’s a bad thing.</li>
<li>My favorite f-word is fdisk.</li>
<li><code><rant></code>I include XML in regular correspondence.<code></rant></code></li>
<li>I use camelCase for names.</li>
<li>I take things too literally. For example, my wife gets upset when she asks <em>“Do you want to take out the garbage?”</em> (no) instead of <em>“Will you take out the garbage?”</em> (yes).</li>
<li>I respond to questions too logically. For example, when a waitress asks me,<em> “Would you like coffee or tea?”</em> I respond, <em>“Yes.”</em></li>
<li>I answer negative questions in the technically-correct but awkward way. When my mom asks me, <em>“Wouldn’t you like a glass of milk?”</em> I respond, <em>“Yes, I wouldn’t like a glass of milk.”</em></li>
<li>I refer to having sex as setting up a LAN!</li>
<li>When I make a mistake or say something I shouldn’t have, I wish I could press <code>Ctrl+Z</code>.</li>
<li>When searching a paper book, I get frustrated that I cannot simply press <code>Ctrl+F</code> to find the text I’m looking for.</li>
<li>When a store cashier asks me for my zip code, I demand to see the store’s privacy policy.</li>
<li>I get sudden attacks of bittersweet nostalgia when thinking about my long-lost Commodore 64, Sinclair ZX-81, TRS-80, or Amiga 1000.</li>
<li>It’s hard for me to make an absolute statement because I always consider there may be an edge case.</li>
<li>I unit-test my spouse, expecting deterministic, solid outputs for a certain input with boundary conditions.</li>
<li>I tell my spouse to <em>“stop throwing exceptions that I’m not willing to catch.”</em></li>
<li>I email myself notes rather than writing them.</li>
<li>I hold a mouse more than my wife’s hand.</li>
<li>I end my sentences with a semicolon…</li>
<li>… actually not anymore since I discovered <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://blog.finxter.com/python-semicolons-how-they-work-and-why-haters-tell-you-to-avoid-them/" target="_blank">Python</a>.</li>
<li>I assume that most people love their jobs like I do.</li>
<li>I’d rather text the guy in the next cubicle than talk to him.</li>
<li>Nighttime and sleep are no longer irrevocably linked.</li>
<li>I think <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://blog.finxter.com/what-is-the-geekiest-joke/" data-type="post" data-id="617" target="_blank">these programming jokes</a> are hilarious.</li>
<li>I think <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.devtopics.com/best-xkcd-programming-comics/" target="_blank">xkcd</a> is the funniest webcomic ever.</li>
<li>I think the three primary colors are red, green and blue.</li>
<li>I have more than one monitor.</li>
<li>I have more email addresses than pairs of shoes.</li>
<li>The number of computers in my house exceeds the number of romantic relationships I’ve had in my lifetime.</li>
<li>I run a Web server at home.</li>
<li>Instead of playing games on my Xbox, I set up a <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://blog.finxter.com/how-to-value-bitcoin/" data-type="post" data-id="31351" target="_blank">Bitcoin</a> node.</li>
<li>I carry a USB flash drive in my pocket wherever I go.</li>
<li>I know what a router is, and I know what a bit is, but I don’t know what’s a router bit.</li>
<li>I helped my grandma create her own blog.</li>
<li>I talk to my computer the way most people talk to their significant other.</li>
<li>I email myself to remind me to do something.</li>
<li>I rig up elaborate mechanisms to perform basic tasks.</li>
<li>When I’m reading a magazine and I see an underlined passage, I feel compelled to click on it.</li>
