10/10 would nerd out in PHP again.
The only more masochist geeks are the Perl ones - especially the ones who entered the "most obfuscated code" contests.
Wow I'm an old engineer nerd. I feel so exposed. Zero is nothing always start at one for life.
As a ruby guy, I'm just happy to be included.
This is deep.
Perl should say: You are old and a nerd or you use Debian
Where is Objective-C?
No. The proper term is GEEK. Needs are uncoordinated, awkward, have no fashion sense, and occasionally tape their broken glasses (or say sheepishly, "did I do that?")
Geeks have in-depth, we'll researched knowledge on topics that are obscure to the "mundanes", have intellectual curiosity, and sometimes gain in wealth as a result. In many cases, they tend to make non-geeks (and geeks for other topics) completely befuddled. This sometimes results in insecurity on the part of non-geeks, which negatively impacts their social lives. On rare occasions, such geeks are so over the top smart that they transcend such petty attitudes (see: Neil deGrasse Tyson)
