The programmer, an offshoot of the great ape family closely related to chimps and gorillas.
Distinguished by its minimal bipedal movement and ability to stare at a computer screen for the majority of its lifetime.
There's an estimated 30,000,000 specimens alive in the world today.
Normal humans use stereotypes to help understand and Generalize this unusual variant, which experts estimate are about 99% accurate about 12% of the time.
In today's video, we'll take a look at 10 different programmer stereotypes to find out which one you fall into.
1st up, we have the gear head.
This variant owns the bleeding edge version of everything, like the latest M1 Mac, a big ass curved a monitor, mechanical keyboard, Tesla in the garage, AI generated synthetic meat in the fridge, and a smart lock on the house to keep it all safe.
When programming, he goes wherever the hype train takes him.
In 96, it was Java.
In 06, it was Jquery.
In 2016, it was GraphQL.
And in 2026, he'll be first in line at at length to get a chip that can help him write blazingly fast code.
It doesn't matter what the tech does, if it's trendy, it belongs in the stack.
The stereotype may be true sometimes, but programming I mean, can actually push many people in the opposite direction.
The guy who works in tech, but hates tech stereotype knows exactly how unreliable and dangerous code can be.
Like the the rack 25 incident, where a little software bug accidentally killed some people by giving them a massive overdose of radiation.
This guy would never buy a car that can be remotely summoned back to Elon when you stop paying a bill.
And he would definitely never put a smart lock on his house because the NSA probably has backdoor access, or at the very least, there's an undiscovered exploit in its code.
If you broke in to his farmhouse, you'd find a single monitor Linux machine, a flip phone, some gold bullion, and a shotgun barrel pointed in your face.
The most stereotypical programmer, at, though, has to be the introvert.
He's a savant who still sleeps in a car bed, and his vision of the ideal lifestyle is what the rest of society calls quarantine.
He's super good at at, and can actually program stuff without using Google and Stack Overflow, but couldn't hold a conversation to save his life.
Extroverts like Jobs used these nerds like Woz to get super rich.
This Stereotype used to be 100% true back when programming was hard, like pre 19 nineties, but as programming has become more mainstream, it's led to a new paradigm, at the brogrammer.
This guy got a computer science degree while mostly partying with his frat in college.
Bruh.
His name is usually Chad, and he has more mating opportunities than the introvert, but it comes at a cost of reduced code quality, which he refuses to test because test driven development is for losers.
No, bro.
However, he has better communication skills than the introverts, which is annoying because I wish this guy would stop talking to me.
Eventually, he evolves into your manager, where he can torment you with code reviews and team building exercises.
Sizes.
Now, so far in this video, I've been using a lot of masculine pronouns.
That's because 95% of my audience is male, which is actually pretty close to the real world distribution today.
At.
What you may not realize though is that back in the day, women used to dominate the programming space.
Kathleen Booth created the first assembly language, Grace Hopper created the first compiler, at, and Margaret Hamilton led the team who wrote the code for the Apollo moon lander, code that was so flawless and perfectly executed that some people think it's proof we didn't actually go to the moon.
That was apex of code quality, and since that time everything has gone downhill.
The next specimen we'll look at is the influencer or codefluencer.
His natural habitat is not a code editor, it, but rather a social media platform most commonly Twitter.
After figuring out how to print hello world in PHP, he immediately rose to the top of the dominance hierarchy in his own mind.
Now, he makes the world a better place by regurgitating code tips and hot takes all day long.
And he just landed a better paying job than you because he mastered the art of virtue signaling, and that's what we call a good culture fit.
Another popular stereotype is the hacker.
This guy is able to open up a terminal, connect to some remote mainframe, and break all of its security protocols one at 1 with awesome fancy animations between each step.
This stereotype is what most people think programmers do, but is 100% manufactured by Hollywood.
Real hacking is extremely tedious and boring, and and is done primarily by the people who have all the guns.
Now, a stereotype that is actually real is the 10 x developer.
This guy is an extremely rare at their unicorn that can do the work of 10 other developers combined.
Some say they're a myth, but I've seen developers firsthand who write code like Durant at basketball, or Kasparov plays chess.
There are people out there with a natural problem solving ability that just goes far beyond the rest of the population.
You'll know a 10x developer when you see 1 because you'll feel very incompetent and also very jealous.
Now, I think the ideal stereotype for most of us to fall into is the lazy programmer.
To the outside world, it doesn't look like this guy does much.
He sits at a computer all day hitting the keyboard, and if you glance at his screen, it looks like he's just copying and pasting things from the Internet.
What he's actually doing though is building a $1,000,000 side hustle so he can retire in his thirties.
He also has a remote job with a 400 k salary, but he eats ramen for dinner while sharing a crappy apartment with 4 other dudes.
His wardrobe is 50% swag from tech conferences and 50% things his mom bought him.
He leverages code to work smarter and not harder.
Now, on the other at the end of the spectrum, we have the old jaded guy.
He has long silver hair and a big white beard.
He only codes in c, not c plus plus and definitely not any of the hipster garbage that you're using.
In fact, he probably wrote the compiler for the silly toy language that you're trying to learn.
His depth of knowledge transcends the normal apes idea of reality when he discovered through psychedelics that were all just one entity that found a hack in the universe to experience itself in parallel with primate bodies, and computers are the tool that will ultimately make us one again.
At it.
And that concludes our presentation on programmer stereotypes.
Let me know which one you fall into in the comments below.
Thanks for watching, and I will see you in the next one.

In this video, the host discusses several developers who have been described as stereotypes. The host explains that some developers, such as the introvert, are more focused on technical technical issues and may be more likely to use a computer than a social media platform. The host also discusses some developers who have a natural problem solution, such as the lazy programmer, and some who have a technical problem solution.
