-- You know you've been hacking too long when...
...you are having a bad dream (being chased by space aliens, etc.) and you
wake up, only to have another bad dream and realize that you are STILL
dreaming, and had been dreaming you were dreaming, so you wake up again,
and finally wake up once more and realize you were nested four levels deep
in dreaming you were dreaming. It is bad enough to recognize that you were
in a strange recursi6on, but then there is this really horrible thought "If
I had experienced a stack overflow would I have been permanently
unable to wake up?". Then you KNOW you are finally awake and have been
hacking too long.
