Somehow it's missing the clean cut Indian developer guy, the emo developer, the script kiddie, the Linux fan, the windows fan, the IBM frat boy, the open BSD lunatics and the one guy who loves trains too much

Emo developer - top left

Script kiddy - top left

Linux fan - top left

I think you mean stages*

There are 4 stages of IT guy

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

This image is frighteningly accurate. The IT guy at my current job is top left. The IT guy at my last job was top right. My friend from my discord server who works in IT has said for years that everyone who works in IT is either a neckbeard, a femboy, or a furry. He's a furry.

Not 100% sure I nailed it but the 4 pics made me think PC meme.

I knew I should've swapped the top left and bottom right, but as you say, it's not clear without nuance.

Am the numero 4 / bottom right (except too poor for fursuit yet). Sometimes pretend to be a 2. Have two colleagues who work IT at a municipal service. The first is a 1 who pretends to be a 3 and the second is a 3 who pretends to be a 1. Even I find myself at a loss at them sometimes.

Got a coworker on my team who is type 4. He's the glue that holds the team together, nobody knows anywhere as much as he does.

If he ever leaves, the whole team is screwed and the project is dead in the water.

Number 1 is number 3 when online.

Number 2 is number 4 when at the convention.

There are 2 types of IT guys.

The Inquisition has no power over the Adeptus Mechanicus, meat sack!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

I guess I'm top left. If it has to be that three. I'm pretty sure whoever came up with that needs to show us where IT touched them on the Anatomically Neutral doll.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 days ago

I'm not the bottom two, that much I know.
I can't grow a beard... oh no.

Why are none of them Noel Fielding?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

noel isn't actually an IT guy, he's the random guy that broke into your building but is too chill to be kicked out.

Also he's kinda funny.

What's the stereotype with top right?

Asking because if I had to lump myself somewhere, it's that one.

But if it sucks... I guess I'll go wear a sailor uniform.

But, like, are there types of IT women? Asking cause I am one and don't know any tropes for us lol

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 days ago

Go forth and forge your own destiny, free of stereotypes. Or just be Alex from YIIK idk.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Every IT woman I've worked with kicks ass and is really cool, doesn't realize how cool and inspiring they are. Until management, then I have no idea how they got there, they can't seem to use a computer let alone assist with IT related decision making.

They're all the same person

Top right is the guy I want to be! Total chad!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I don't get what top right is supposed to be. Or bottom left for that matter

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (3 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

So you're... a bottom. And left.

The bottom 2 seem accurate. Source: I'm an IT person

[–] [email protected] 57 points 3 days ago (2 children)

The bottom two are just the top two at home.

We have two IT guys, one of them is three of these and the other is the fourth. The guy who is all three is actually the anime girl on VR Chat in his spare time :)
