in reply to Programmers are weird

We often operate like the machines we use... Ask a busy programmer a question and it can be minutes before the programmer context switches and replies to the question.

Frequently heard in my house...

wifey: Honey? Can you help me with something?

Steve_p: Yeah...just a minute
