The Fat Geeks versus The Thin Geeks
There sure are a lot of geeks out there. I’ve noticed that I’m dealing with a lot more thin geeks lately. I think that’s a good thing.
Thin geeks are usually thin. They are often young. They have grown up in an era where body health and business fashion are important and they tend to keep themselves well-kempt.
Thin geeks are often concerned about the environment and reducing or reversing our ill effects on it. They are often philanthropists and donate to charities because they believe in them.
Thin geeks aren’t often wealthy, but have a good retirement planned for themselves. Thin geeks know their stuff generally pretty well, but are blindered into thinking that their way is the only/best way to accomplish something due to their inexperience. Thin geeks will often tout Linux as the penultimate OS, and will often needlessly toil in ancient inefficient console-based editors just to increase their geek cred.
On the other hand, Fat Geeks are the ones who have been toiling in the basement since the 70’s trying to make the internet go.
