What real life bad habits has programming given you?

I stumbled upon this link and I thought I’d answer it first before reading.

Here are my list of bad habits:)

  • “You would end your English sentences with semi-colon”: 6 years back I laughed at this statement when I read in YPK’s Let us C. By the end of that semester, I was ending my normal sentences with semi-colon;
  • My pranayama count is 8 and 16. I feel a sense of completion with 1024. Any number which is a power of 2 is a round number these days.
  • I’m multitasking when I cook two or more dishes at the same time. I’m context-switching when I move from one dish to another. I think of little Endian and Big Endian when I break eggs. I sometimes explain colors in their RGB values.
  • Attributing to my laziness, I always want a for loop for all menial tasks.
  • Thanks to Larry and Sergey for their Page Ranking Algorithm. I google for even simple things.
