I have a half baked idea in my head, but I think there's something to it.

Writing code and working as a programmer for almost 20 years, has rewired my brain.

I have certain habits of mind that can irritate and annoy my wife.

I can't help but point out logical inconsistencies if I find them in something I see or hear.

I tend to consider multiple possible scenarios and outcomes, or all the different iterations of something.

I can get bogged down in the details of a story.

I like puns and wordgames and seeing words used in novel ways.

These are all traits that programming selects for, and strengthens.

I guess everyone's brain gets rewired by what they do. It's just kinda strange to realize the extent of it sometimes when I reflect on my behavior.
