Hey, Canadian Web Developers! Does This Sound Familiar?

Over the past few weeks, I've been working hard on the content for the Web Developer track of Microsoft Tech•Days Canada 2008. Looking at the lighter side of this space, I took a break to come up with a few observations.

"You Might be a Web Developer..."

If you overuse AJAX for household chores, you might be a Web developer.
If you think "passing the Acid test" doesn't refer to a drug problem, you might be a Web developer.
If you know that WYSIWYG isn't a military installation in Iceland, you might be a Web developer.
If you respond to confusing questions with "HTTP 500", you might be a Web developer.
