Today, at a dinner party, someone acted surprised when they discovered that I was an Integrations Engineer because (quote) "You look too normal for a Dev".

What the hell? Why do people always assume that who works at IT must live their whole life at a desk, wear glasses and have 0 social skills?

    Females can be nerds too, @CoffeeNcode. No need to feel threatened. I meant nothing by it.

    @bahua Actually the person in question is a marketeer, they would probably take it as a compliment I guess

    @devios1 Are you really? It's a nice meme but it sucks that people expect you to be some kind of an alien for working on what you like

    @milkbytes I mean proud might be a stretch, but I think nerdiness is cool in its honesty. But prejudice sucks. If people are gonna judge you based on some assumptions like that, then they probably aren’t worth worrying about.
