I think spending hours calmly in front of a debugger is the reason programmers become angry at people.

Stress builds up and needs to be released somewhere.

What I learned over time is that it’s better to get angry at the debugger and be nice to people. Not a day goes by without cursing that hecking tool that does whatever the heck it wants again, but I smile at my neighbours and try to help whenever I can. I also use HN as a means to let some of my craziest thoughts run wild, so I wouldnt have to torment those around me with them.

Programmers are humans and humans rely on emotion. Got to control the flow and pressure somehow.
