Similarities:
- In both cases you have to explicitly say what it is you're going to do (for programmers, the design documents, specifications, etc.; for debaters, the policy, counter-policy, etc.)
- You have to deal with people asking potentially damaging questions
- You don't have all the time in the world

Differences
- No one asks you to write a fully working program in 7 minutes ("Hello World" doesn't exactly count here.)
- Debaters have more of a social life than [most] programmers
- You get to meet a lot of different people from different instituitions while debating, whereas for programming generally you only meet people within your company

So, how do the above points apply for someone who is both a debater and a programmer? =P
