No, they're the ones who are so busy trying to give no offense to any group, no matter how obscure, that they never do anything useful.

Perhaps they are counting in Octal. Oct("10") is 8.
Old question: Why can't programmers distinguish between Halloween and Christmas?
Answer: Because Oct("31") == Dec("25")

A husband hears his phone buzz a text message. It's in the kitchen so he gets up to go see the message. It's from his wife, with whom he had been sitting. The text reads:
Honey, while you're in the kitchen please bring me some wine

Braceless if statements are so yesterdays news.
As of last night I wrote code to create side effects when you add an event handler to an event in C#.
So for example
(assume BleRemoteCharacteristic ch = some valid value)
ch.Changed += CH_Changed;
ch.Changed -= CH_Changed;
Subscribe and Unsubscribe cause network activity.

Noooooooo, my eyesss! IT BURNS!!!  
I actually did read your other post and know why you did it though
Working with badly designed third party libraries can be a pain 
I can't even remember the last time I wrote my own event.
And I actually can't even remember how I'd go about it, I'd have to check the manual.
I do remember that adding multiple handlers in VB.NET still results in one handler being added, which totally screwed me over when I switched to C#
So for this one, you're forgiven.

honey the codewitch wrote: Subscribe and Unsubscribe cause network activity.
Almost like Ruby's magic "method missing" hook.

I wish I didn't find myself writing it but after thinking about it I didn't know what else to do.
It's really error prone if I don't do it, because how are you suppose to know you also have to call Subscribe() before your events will get fired?
Better to just make the act of hooking the (first) event do it for you, lest you introduce bugs inadvertently.
It has other obvious disadvantages, like actually sending signals over bluetooth when you do it, plus the high possibility of throwing an exception during the subscription process. All of that would have been more of a problem if I derived from Component and thus exposed the events to the design time interface, where you run into issues with the designer instantiating your stuff and keeping state.
But I digress. I don't like automagic code but this is one of those instances where there were not many good options and reasonable people would disagree on how to handle it i think.

<soapbox>I have observed during my decades as a programmer that if you possess certain knowledge/skills and refuse to share that with the rest of the development team, you are an impediment to the team's proper functioning and should be removed from the team. </soapbox>

Why would that be soap box material?
That's just common sense: it's the whole principle behind this site.

One would think that would be common sense, right? Unfortunately, I have run across many programmers throughout my career who want to "hoard" all of their knowledge. Whether it is because they want job security or just want to feel superior to other programmers, I don't know. I do know that when I encounter them, if I cannot change their outlook, I send 'em packing.

To be fair, some of this may be insecurities. Having other people look at and critique their work may be damaging to their ego.

and what may this "certain knowledge/skills" be ? .... does it start with j and end with t ? muhaaaa !!!!

Nah ... I find that some people "pretend" to have knowledge when you ask the hard questions; and then throw you out of their office as a defense.
I stopped asking for that reason long ago ... other than where the coffee machine is.

That's a good way to be on call 24/7/365. Teach everybody that wants to learn everything you can. Then when you take a vacation, you can "leave your laptop at home."
