I really want to know what it is about programming, or computers in general, that makes people want to grow a beard, have long hair, and dress like a slob. I can say these things without guilt because while I do not have long hair, I do have a beard and I do in fact dress like a slob.

I don't dress like a slob, I do dress comfortably and in nice clothes. A lot of work places don't allow you to look like a slob, nor do they expect you to wear a white shirt and tie either. In my position, sure I don't interact with customers or see daylight for that matter, but I make myself presentable each office day.

I want to think the reason all those guys look the way they do is the same reason some college professors use: because they're so indispensable, they just can.

Oh god, it's me in ten years. Well, maybe thirty. Really makes you feel like a big brotherhood though, eh? "The bearded masses" perhaps...

I don't get how people can be fat and hairy, especially a beard, it must be so uncomfortable in summer. I guess that explains the very casual clothes. And isn't caffeine supposed to be an appetite suppressant? ;)

That member "myth_drannon" is a cunt. Comes in and downgrades articles that are popular just to be a smart arse. Please ban him/her/it.

What is your problem ??? Too much free time stalking how others vote?
I vote for articles that are programming/development related, not humor articles that I can get enough of them on Reddit.

If you don't like to read humor articles why do you click on them in the first place???
