I think you are both wrong. Real programmers do not speak, regardless of their age.

By the way, googling programmer stereotypes, I found this

"Quiet Quincy

Quincy is one of those guys who has no need to brag about his technical skills or the depth of his technical knowledge. He's not much interested in being "alpha geek" at the office, he just wants to do a good job and then go home to his wife and children. Quietly spoken and unassuming, he looks on with amusement at Zealous Zack's ever-changing enthusiasms and shakes his head, knowing that in a few more years Zack will have gained enough experience to know that the computing industry is full of "next big things" that generally aren't. Given a task, he just sits down and does it. He doesn't succumb to heroic bug-fixing and late night coding efforts - his code is good enough to begin with that there are rarely any problems with it. He probably won't get many pats on the back from management, whose attention will largely be captured by the technical prima donnas that swan around the project space, dropping buzzwords and acronyms like they were the names of celebrities they knew personally. But without Quincy and those of his ilk, the project would fail - because someone has to get the work done."

I guess VFP'ers are Quincys and .Net'ers are Zackses <g> < /me Ducks >
