Talking Re: Don't Disturb the Programmers!

The best thing about programming on our team is we make a program for the possibilities of what the build team could build and build test platforms to run the code and most of the time are done before the robot

Re: Don't Disturb the Programmers!

Our programmer(s?) get a table in the corner surrounded by the electrical work. But then again a maximum group of 5 people with one laptop and one netbook doesn't really need much more room, so it all works out

Re: Don't Disturb the Programmers!

We have a "computer shack" in our shop that houses the programmer and our fancy PCs.

Re: Don't Disturb the Programmers!

The 2 programmers on the team and I have resorted to using the small hallway near the room as our nest. Far enough away from the room so that the machines are not overpowering any discussion that might happen, but also close enough to the door outside since we have to get online using tethering or hope its a nice day to get optimum wifi.

School won't give the team the password for the wifi, not since the incident ....

Re: Don't Disturb the Programmers!

Our team must be so fortunate to have so much space... =\

In other news, programmers DO like to work in dark places, away from loud noises (but then they put techno on)

XD

We should list symptoms and habits of programmers haha.

Seriously, why do programmers have a nesting habit?

Disclaimer: I am a programmer but I have a couple people who are much more interested and I am needed elsewhere, I reserve the right to make fun of them.
Strangely enough, when I did some of the programming for 816 (2007-ish) I would shut myself into one of the smaller rooms in our build space, turn the lights off and ignore everyone while I was working.

Maybe it's because a computer screen is easier to see/read when the lights are off?

(Yes, there was a point in time when I knew how to program a robot.)

Talking Re: Don't Disturb the Programmers!

We love our space and the gigantic window so we can close the door turn off the lights and still see the build team working!

P.S. yes, programmers do have nesting habits and they are best not disturbed in their natural habitat because they are very territorial creatures!!!

Re: Don't Disturb the Programmers!

Haha, nice picture. I'll start that list.

PROGRAMMERS:
  • Enjoy Dew || Root beer
  • Prefer dark places
  • Have strange senses of humor
  • Are extremely distractable
  • Work well when listening to loud music - either techno or classic rock works the best
  • Can't be expected to get anything done if they are well rested
  • Can read minds (don't ask)
  • Often have some musical ability
  • Support multitasking
  • Get grouchy if you touch their laptops || drinks
  • Require constant supervision
  • Nest in small, dark areas
  • Weave webs with their wires to ensnare unwitting Mech students
  • Get frightened like deer when you mention "code review"
  • Only use headphones when gaming
  • Make code puns
  • Work better without sleep

  • Argue quite often, but not with one another but with the code because its not right and they want to prove it!

Re: Don't Disturb the Programmers!

  • Work at their own leisure weeks 1-3
  • Cram in intense introverted time with computer screens week 4-6 and all March


And I forgot one:

Swim in semi-colons, curly brackets and parentheses.

Lulzy!
