Quoting Dennis: yes(2)no(8) so I'm not cut out to be a programmer at all? What a bummer.... :s Actually, you are cut out to be a programmer, according to the website: no is good in that aspect. However, I'd like to make a reference to point 7 here. ____________ |

I was just going to say that PB. lol Then again, this is just a funny little chart invented by someone. It does not prove that one is not cut out to be a programmer. Things like this are too general but still good fun.

Well I think most programmers aren't too good with language :-) Although it is important when it comes to reading specs (for instance when creating a form that checks if you are cut out to be a programmer  )

Never shall I create such a form! Not in Any form-technology! I can't , I won't and I shan't! If I create something I read more carefully
