The folks over at Drivl have a very funny blog about what code doesn't do. As opposed to what movies tell us it does

Check it out.

Oh, and while we're dispelling code and coder stereotypes, I'll toss in my two cents: real programmers abhor animation of any kind. Yes, games are animated. And graphics designers and movie makers need to deal with animation. But we do not build our tools to contain needless, stupid animation. Mostly, we just want to get our work done and animation just slows us down. So when you see a movie guy click a button, or press a key, and a remarkably complex piece of animation plays to indicate that work is being done...yeah, that's bullshit.
