He probably meant that programming takes him to the black places in his head.
I know that's what programming can do to people 
It's an OO world.
public class SanderRossel : Lazy<Person>
{
public void DoWork()
{
throw new NotSupportedException();
}

That's why I listen to The Smiths while programming.

I really just listen to anything. From 60's to 2010's (mostly skipping the 80's though) and from new age/ambient to dubstep

I avoid nearly everything after 1990. I have a lot of 80s; ah the good old days hacking away in my parents' basement...

I have a lot of that from the 80s, but I don't listen to it much anymore.

With the chance of being a typical Leslie, I did what I could do to stop myself of pasting this. Obviously I failed.

You also seem to have done what you can to mix the words in that sentence up as much as possible
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

Yeah, my sentence could use a comma or two.
This happens when you have some structure knowledge of German language deep inside your brain. I noticed that sometimes even when I speak my birth language I use the German language construction which is inappropriate at these moments.
I wonder what else I could find in there
Edit: I don't mind if someone points my sentence flaws After all that's one of the ways of learning

Even in german that sentence could use some commas

Not that I demand everyone to speak a perfect english, but their conversation partner shouldn't need to decrypt the sentences...
The text you quoted isn't perfect; but it's clearly understandable on the first read through. Lay off already.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Not for me - Might be because I'm not a native speaker. I wasn't mocking the post for it's grammar but for the sentence "but i can only write program in console and this BLACK place (shet)" and my understanding (The console is a black place) of it. I'm sorry that I didn't state this clear in my post, but the last chapter there was a crossing thought that came to my mind as I was writing "spell checker" and is more a general thought than directed at the question.

Bah! Kids these days... they have no respect for history, the tried-and-true processes of days gone by.
