# Russian programmers never read manuals and rarely use online help. But they easily get a grasp of any new program, simply because they have already tried every single program in this field before.

# Russian programmers never pay for the software. They either crack it or buy those wonderful CDs with tons of cracked software that are sold for 5 bucks in every major city in Russia.

# Russian programmers are always on the cutting edge of software development -- they always use the latest versions of the best tools available. It's easy, since there is no need to pay.

# Russian programmers are very experienced in hardware. They will take your computer apart and build it back in a matter of minutes. They remember the jumpers settings for most boards, hard drives and other devices. They never forget what interrupts and base memory addresses are currently used up in their computers.

# Russian programmers keep upgrading their computers until there are no more available interrupts, no room for additional memory and no free bay slots. If they can't upgrade it any more, they buy a new one and tie both old and new computer into a LAN.

# Russian programmers program on all levels, beginning with the processor codes, table of which they hold for the reference on their desk. They usually remember by heart the list of functions of Int21H.  Old Russian programmers can read IBM mainframe hexadecimal dumps like you read C code and parch program directly in memory from system console.

# Russian programmers remember both English and Russian keyboard layouts. You can ask them in the middle of the night what key is between A and L and you'll hear surprised: "What do you mean - they are 7 keys apart?".

# Russian programmers hate Microsoft and Microsoft tools, but keep using them.

# Russian programmers generally prefer Borland tools but still install Microsoft compilers only for their nice Help files on Windows API.

# Russian programmers feel themselves very comfortable on the Internet. They are always online - just in case they need something urgently.

# Russian programmers only work when they are in the right mood. Programming is a creative process and it cannot be pushed.

# Russian programmers are always in the mood for programming.

# There are two kinds of Russian programmers - the ones that hate Windows and program on UNIX and the ones that hate Windows and still program on Windows. Macintosh programmers aren't real programmers - they are more often referred to as "users".

# Russian programmers hate to code somebody else's ideas. Each program is written personally and from scratch.

# Russian programmers always have a copy of Far, Doom or Quake on their hard drives. They play nights over the network in a Deathmatch mode.

# Russian programmers almost never use joystick. Keyboard is a dangerous weapon in their fast hands.

# Russian programmers never give up. They will hunt down bugs in their programs forgetting to eat and sleep.

# Russian programmers' wives are never happy. They get no attention whatsoever as long as the computer is in the same house.

# There are two kinds of Russian programmers - the ones that bring profit by actually doing something, and the ones that bring better profit by not interfering with anything.

# Russian programmers are always underpaid. There is no money in the world that amounts to what they are really worth.

# Big bosses don't like Russian programmers. Who likes a smart ass that knows everything?

# Big bosses will never fire a Russian programmer.. They know that even working 10 hours a week and being half-drunk a Russian programmer will accomplish more than a Ph.D both in the short and in the long run.

# Russian programmers never prototype the code. They write on inspiration, sometimes without sleep, driven by the urge to see the new program run as soon as possible. When the program finally runs without glitches they drop on the floor and sleep for 20-30 hours happily smiling in their dreams.

# Russian programmers never approach programming methodically. Every program is a piece of art and is usually written in a highly inconvenient time when deadlines for other projects are around the corner.
