Who knew?

Apparently a bunch of developers here at TheLadders.com have been writing a blog for quite some time.

Here it is (creatively titled): TheLadders.com Developer Blog.

A few observations I have about software developers after almost 3 and a half years at TheLadders.com.

1) Whatever is on their computer screens looks infinitely more complicated than what is on my screen.
2) To a person, they have an unbending belief that "sure, we can do that."
3) A typical conversation begins with my asking a question, a long-winded response with a bunch crap I don't understand, followed by my saying "so yes?"
4) They all think they can sell. And we all think that fixing bugs should take about 20 minutes.
5) As soon as I got a remote-controlled helicopter, they went out and bought two (including a blimp). Woe be the guy that has cooler technology than a software developer.
6) Asking one of them to help me with my Windows software problems is like asking vegan to eat a whole hog.

What else can you add to this list?
