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. 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.
