- Being [pseudoleftist](left_right.md) (fascist) political activists pushing [tranny software](tranny_software.md) and [COCs](coc.md) while actually being mainstream centrists in the tech world (advocating "[open-source](open_source.md)" instead of [free_software](free_software.md), being okay with [proprietary](proprietary.md) software, [bloat](bloat.md) etc.).
- Trying to be "cool", having friends and even spouses and kids, wearing T-shirts with "[coding](coding.md) [jokes](jokes.md)", having tattoos, piercing and colored hair (also trimmed bear in case of males).
- Being actually bad at programming, using meme high-level languages like [JavaScript](javascript.md), [Python](python.md) or [Rust](rust.md). { I shit you not, I learned from a friend who lives in India that "universities" there produce "security experts" who don't even have to know any programming and math. They just learn some sysadmin stuff and installing antiviruses, without having any clue about how encryption works etc. These people get regular degrees. Really makes me wanna kys myself. ~drummyfish }
- Thinking they're experts in technology because they are familiar with the existence of [Linux](linux.md) (usually some mainstream distro such as [Ubuntu](ubuntu.md)) and can type `cd` and `ls` in the terminal.
- Being only briefly aware of the tech culture, telling big-bang-theory level jokes (*sudo make sandwich*, [42](42.md) hahahahahahaha).
- Being highly active on social networks, probably having a pixel-art portrait of their ugly face and "personal pronouns" on their profile.
- Believing in and engaging in [capitalism](capitalism.md), believing corporations such as [Microsoft](microsoft.md), wanting to create "startups", being obsessed with [productivity](productivity_cult.md), inspirational quotes and masturbating to tech "visionaries" like [Steve Jobs](steve_jobs.md). The "rebels" among these are advocating [FOSS](foss.md), however they always promote huge [bloat](bloat.md) and de-facto [capitalist software](capitalist_software.md) which is no different from proprietary software.
