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

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.

They're all the same person

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 48 points 5 days ago (9 children)

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

[–] Abnorc@lemm.ee 42 points 5 days ago

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

[–] Glitch@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 5 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.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

I would love to fit that description and I hope my coworkers think I'm cool lol. I never want to be in a position of power in this field because I have already dealt with enough dumb bullshit on the daily lol

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

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 58 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The bottom two are just the top two at home.

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.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago (2 children)

The "lumberjack" style / hipster.

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 12 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Ew... Gross.

I'll wear the femboi outfit.

Yeah thanks Gilfoyle!

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

Number 1 is number 3 when online.

Number 2 is number 4 when at the convention.

There are 2 types of IT guys.

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 21 points 5 days ago

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

Doesn't have the guy who seems to always be asleep at the desk but is also somehow the most efficient IT worker.

[–] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 41 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Why do you think they have time to sleep?

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 :)

I think you mean stages*

There are 4 stages of IT guy

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days 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.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days 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.

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.

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

Do I have to choose one of this?

You can't be everything at same time???

[–] Oka@sopuli.xyz 7 points 5 days ago (3 children)

I'm not a dweeb, nor a hipster. I'm not a femboy, nor a furry. I am allied to all of the above, though.

What am I?

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The guy who actually gets work done so in turn you are to busy to look in a mirror making you the de facto top left.

Why are none of them Noel Fielding?

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.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 5 days ago (3 children)

... it's mostly the top left.

Source: i resemble the top left (although i still have my hairline)
