I think the problem I have with it is that a lot of it is about trying to out-geek other geeks. Like when someone says, "Oh yeah, well I'm so nerdy I dream about code!"
- eru 16y agoI used to do that only once or twice (as far as I remember), and that was when first really learning Scheme and wrapping my head around functional programming. But I am guilty of coming into office barefooted just to outgeek.
- aplusbi 16y agoLast night I had a dream that I was telling a coworker he should use reinterpret_cast for something. But I'm not going to go bragging about it and I think it may be the only time I have ever actually dreamed about coding.
- pjscott 16y agoFunny you should mention that. Years ago, when I was learning Lisp, I dreamed one night that the whole world had turned into parentheses, producing an existential horror rather like the "Knife Eye Attack": http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/11p26 http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/11p26 And the background music was Pink Floyd's "Any Colour You Like". This dream had background music. When I woke up, I was a lot better at Lisp than I was the day before, and the parens didn't bother me anymore. Nothing at all similar has happened since.
- pavelludiq 16y agoI actually do literally dream in code from time to time, but the code makes no sense, its more like a vague memory of me editing code rather than a meaningful program. I usually wake up with a smile on my face after such a dream.
