Are computer programmers smarter than everyone else?

[charlie,nj]

Everyone knows that we...err I mean programmers are better looking than everyone else.....and we all know that programmers are fashion plates.


But what about over all smarts…after watching Ken Jennings win on Jeopardy …I think it is clear. Don’t you?


Here are two of my all time favorites….

(nice "loaner" tie and suit Ken)

(beam me up Scotty)


..and lets not forget the programmer with the Disney connection….Mike Eisner’s wife Tasty Eisner.

my baby brother is a programmer,,, how ever he had never heard of emptying temporary files or a registry cleaner, He had to call my mom when a water line broke at his house to decide to call a plumber or not? His smarts are just in a different area

They're not smarter than everyone else. They're just better at programming computers.

Well, DH thinks he is (I mean, they are.)

When he gets that glazed look in his eye when I'm talking, I know he's writing code in his head. I made him throw away his pocket protector.

 

[LadyTrampScamp&Angel]

Although DH is a very intelligent guy he is in no way smarter than me!

Of course they ar010001000100101000100101010
010010100101100111100001101111000101001
1001010101110100101010101011111001010 - Stack overrun!

 

[Bob Slydell]

Pretty much, yep. I guess that's a little biased, eh?

 

[WDWHound]

Of course they are. Of course my wife would probably agrue that point

There are only 10 kinds of people in the world - Those that understand binary and those that don't.

 

[oogieboogie]

Of course Whatever gave you the idea that we're not?

A little biased here too!

 

[stinkerbelle]

considering I've been sitting here, picking my ****, for the past 2 days because I can't figure out this %#@$@#$@ query...I'm going to say I'm no smarter then the guy who sold me my coffee this morning.

this is not a dig on my coffee guy...love him to death...would die without him...his purpose in this world FAR exceeds mine!

 

[Annette_VA]

Dh is a programmer & he was smart enough to marry me, so yep, guess so!

 

[mickeyboat]

Is this math?

Huh?

Having either been one or managed them for 25 years I can emphatically say.....NO!

 

[danacara]

They are wickedly smart creatures of logic. Especially you, Charlie.

Is it true that Eisner's wife is named TASTY? NO WAY.

- Dana (financial technology = not a programmer, but one who translates programming to the common mortal. )

LOL!!

I prefer Hex myself.....confuses even more people.....

 

[charlie,nj]

Dana – yes it’s true …I am smart.... err I mean her name is Tasty….this is from www.eonline.com


Significant Other(s):
Wife: Jane Eisner (née Breckenridge), aka: Tasty Eisner; former computer programmer; born 1943; married 1967



I would love to know how she got that name….although programmers do have a few strange ones…they use to call me “buns”...(don't ask)

 

[Broken8ball]

Yes I am smarter than everyone (except the other programmers here and even that is subject to debate and caffine levels).

I was smart enough to marry my DW!
I was smart enough to find the DIS
I was smart enough to take the family to Disney this summer.

Ergo I am smarter than eveyone else!
