      So interesting. I’m a programmer, I know a lot of programmers, and I’d hate to think that any of them wouldn’t immediately recognise the issue.

      Not sure if you’re the outlier or I am.

        I’ve taught upper level comp sci at a STEM school and I think a majority of my students wouldn’t know what they were looking at in this picture.

        People who’ve written doctoral theses on machine learning and and natural language processing have asked me for help building their gaming rig.

        Not to say its universal, but the Venn Diagram of programmers and hardware nerds is far from a circle.

      As someone who has done both, programmer most recently, and has respect for both, you’re being very judgy. Both are difficult enough jobs without other tech fields bringing each other down.

        I’m not judging. Just observing that a lot of programmers I know wouldn’t understand what’s happening in this picture so maybe it isn’t really programmer humor.
