Those lists are everywhere.
So here is my take on the computer programmer/scientist one:

1. No one understands what you are saying (see point 4 for ONE possible explanation).
2. You realise it’s pointless to try changing the world, because you don’t have the source code.
3. When facing the concrete problems of daily life, you think to yourself: “If only this had been software…”
4. You sometimes speak in 256-bit Rijndael, just in case!
5. The following strikes you as funny in an odd way: See point 5.
6. Who would use Java and coffee in the same sentence?
7. You think of your life in terms of if-conditions…
8. …Wait! Switch statements might be more efficient in this case, really!
9. You make stupid lists like “You know when you’re been a computer programmer/scientist for too long when”.
10. When something is broke you turn to your trusty old debugger.
11. You immediately realise this is a binary number.
12. You know how to pronounce Knuth the ‘right’ way.
13. C# is your favourite key of music.
14. You think of how to hack your own IDisposable pattern.
15. You think this list ends at 15.
16. Or maybe not, cause there are 16 digits!
17. You occasionally use phrases like: modular decomposition and finite state machine.
18. When you do something wrong you realise you need to overlook your exception handling.
19. When you participate in any sport involving catching balls, you try to avoid the ball, because you don’t like exceptions.
20. You wonder if your body employs mark-and-sweep garbage collection.
21. You know it’s difficult to do two things simultaneously, but you do know that if you switch between them really fast no one will notice.
22. You agree on at least five points of the above.
