My partner programmed me a birthday card, so the programming flirt is real.

Like the Apple Lisa for example. Named after his daughter.

Okay but my partner does this with things like taking my naming suggestions for blueprints in factory games. Then he'd message me about his harambe units. 10/10 very cute

I use friends and family as sample data for unit/integration tests.

At a previous job, I tested an automated email system by scheduling fake events for various US presidents. I've long left that position, but I never cleaned up the test data. Every month I still get a reminder for Nixon's upcoming reservation at the Watergate Hotel.

So, anyone here want to name a git branch after me? 😊

Best I can offer is a static variable in my next coding round.

When at uni, my girlfriend tried to get me into Farmville so she could trade stuff. I tried it, decided it was too repetitive, and decided to write a bot to automatically plant and pick tomatoes every two hours. I was a higher level than my wife after about three weeks, and shared my bot with her - which I put into a zip file with her name on it.

Others started using it after we shared it with our friends, and it had been shared several times amongst others, still with her name on the zip file.

She's now my wife, and I'd say that 70% of that was down to that Farmville bot showing that I had value as a man.
