I miss when they called us "computer guys". "Nerds" are not what they used to be, that's one thing. Today you're a nerd if you consoom nerd media or plays some video game, which are actually just pathetic, unintelligent basedboys. The other thing is, the only shows that represents computer nerds (which is what you're trying to describe) are the OG cyberpunk media, such as Ghost in the Shell, because in reality, nobody could depict the actual computer nerd, the Wizard, a species that still exists to this day but are in no way entertaining to build as a character. Fortunately, I still practice the old code where I can and I really miss the elitism of the golden days. There were wizards and lamers.

Good times. This is the only tech culture I actually respect, the one of the old cavernous sysadmins. Normalfags and their smartphones ruined everything. Also, you're not a boomer, only underage newfags calls people boomers for nothing.
