programmer's high 

The feeling of satisfaction a person gets after writing his or her own program and running it successfully. Lasts approximately 10 minutes before wearing off, due to another task appearing immediately after the completion of one task

I let out a sigh of relief and basked in the programmer's high after I had completed this week's programming task. Sadly, hearing my victory sigh, the boss gave me another job to do. Son of a... !!!

Often used to describe the way a programmer's face looks after little or no sleep over a prolonged period of time.

Can also be used to descibe a programmer's face after spending more than 5 days inside, in front of a computer.

Programmer's Interface usually includes:

- Dark circles around the eyes
- Bloodshot eyes
- Pale skin
- Stubble (if male)

Programmer 1: Hey man, you look rough today.

Programmer 2: Yeah, I've got some serious Programmer's Interface going on today.

Programmer 1: Been up for a few days programming again?

Programmer 2: Yeah. Pretty much.

The Programmer's Curse 

When learning a new language, unless your first working sample is "Hello World" you will be cursed and will struggle to use that language for anything useful.

I was learning Ruby on Rails but because I didn't start with a "Hello World" example, I've been struggling with it from Day One.

Bob: "Hey, Jim. I can't seem to understand why my Ruby on Rails project just won't work."
Jim: "Did you start with a basic "Hello World" example to show you understand the basics?"
Bob: "Heck no! Why would I waste my time."
Jim: <smh> "Well, good luck, Jim. You've cursed yourself with The Programmer's Curse.

A programmer, or group of programmers, more interested in tacking more and more "bloatware" features to software, rather then cleaning up and optimizing existing code. Usually using the excuse "Computers are faster now, they can handle it"

Any real programmer knows performance > features and splash screens are soooo 2001.
