Red Flags in a programmer

You know you might be dealing with a `coder' when he/she says:

>>86
global state considered harmful

Then stop using your computer as a giant state machine!

global state considered helpful for when the problem is best modelled with a state machine. emulation is an obvious example - you could write a purely functional CPU (after all you don't need state to have TC) but you'd just be designing something labyrinthine and inefficient which offers no advantages over just having state.

mfw the functional programmer imperatively writes his haskell files to the global state that is his hard disk
