(Backstory: One, Two (the comment), my own contributions, three, four, probably many others I'm missing.)
So I was at a New Year's party and I ran into this guy. You know the type: brought his laptop to a New Year's party. Yup, gotta be a programmer. So I asked him:
Hey, by any chance, do you work in IT?
And he said:
Yup
So I said:
No way! Me too! Are you a sysadmin, a hardware tech, perhaps a programmer?
And he said:
I'm a programmer.
So I said:
No way! Me too! Do you use interpreted or compiled languages?
And he said:
Interpreted.
So I said:
No way! Me too! Strong or weak typing?
And he said:
Strong typing.
So I said:
No way! Me too! Well, that narrows it down to pretty much: Ruby, or Python?
And he said:
I'm a Python programmer.
So I said:
No way! Me too! What do you write - rich clients, web applications, libraries?
And he said:
I write web applications.
So I said:
No way! Me too! Do you use Zope2, a WSGI-compatible framework, or something else entirely?
And he said:
A WSGI-compatible framework.
So I said:
No way! Me too! Which framework do you use?
And he said:
python -c 'import random; print random.choice(["Django", "Pylons", "TurboGears", "CherryPy", "Repoze"])'
So I said:
Die, heretic scum!
And I smashed the champagne bottle on his head.
(Happy New Year's!)
