I found an old internal blog post (May 2006) from back before I really posted things here. Might as well share it. It was based on a challenge to see if it was possible to write Software Developer Redneck jokes. I don’t think it’s that funny, but I enjoy seeing my state of mind at various points in time.
Here goes:
If you think Diamond Inheritance could get you rich, you might be a Software Developer Redneck…
If you were asked to implement a Car subclass of Vehicle for your Intro to Object Oriented Programming class, and it could only turn left, you might be a Software Developer Redneck…
If “yonder concrete factery” seems like a good Design Pattern name, you might be a Software Developer Redneck…
If you refactor your codebase and find an rec-descent parser, you might be a Software Developer Redneck… (ok, that didn’t make sense)
If you thought Ruby’s block support would work well under your Camaro, you might be a Software Developer Redneck…
If you think segmentation faults and build breakages can be forgiven each Sunday, you might be a Software Developer Redneck…
If Duck-Typing means “in season” or “out of season”, you might be a Software Developer Redneck.
If you declare all of your variables of type doublewide, you might be a Software Developer Redneck…
If you have customized popt to accept “yup” and “reckon”, you might be a Software Developer Redneck.
If your idea of application security is ROT13 and a double barrelled shotgun, you might be a Software Developer Redneck.
(Thank you, I’ll be here all week.)

This one made me lol

As far as redneck jokes go, they’re pretty good. I liked the one about block support.
