• Every time your software crashed, 300 people would die
• You get new tools every 30 years, whether you need them or not
• Everyone has to use the same language
• A good day is coming home and not seeing your work on the news
• A bad day is coming home and seeing your work at the top of every news program being dissected in detail by experts
• If you sneak a peek at Digg or Reddit while you work, everyone knows it
• No matter how much work comes your way you have to deliver in the time alloted
• After just a few minor bugs you would be fired
• If your tools stopped working for any reason, you then have to work blind and from memory
• The video game you play has only 1 life
• The project manager is the government
• When you use someone else's software, you need to know the programmer personally and how long they've been on duty
• If you do your job well, no one will notice

Have a nice day being a programmer!
