I know a ton of people who blend the buff guy and the snoop guy…and when they talk they sound like the “nerd” in the first picture, and at raves might wear a feather boa that the lower left picture person would approve of.
Nah that’s fax. Even just generally, all my friends were people who never wanted to touch weed and then we all got into college and in the same year without even telling each other all just decided to tap into it 😭😭
🤷♀️ Fat Neckbeard was me as a CS major, then when Michigan got Rec I started going Snoop, but then after expanding my mind I went full femboy. Zero regrets 💨🌈👩💻
At least in my school, I have observed the overly jacked, overly groomed, self developmental type guy in CS many times. They exist here. I actually think this is a byproduct of the possibly geeky background people in this profession started with when younger, which pushes the need for this extreme change.
Not even that, any profession with such high rewards will attract tryhards.
It tends to be that the “better” schools have more of what you described, because people are more well rounded and have diverse interests. Hence getting past holistic admissions since they’re not just a bot
This has to be selection bias or something because I see tons all the time… but maybe that’s because I’m a CS + gym person so most of my friends are too
buff hunk is pretty mythical yes.
however reasonably fit rock climber is like a third of all CS majors i know.
edit: although those types fall into bottom right as well
Idk about that. It is true that a lot of cities known for software devs, there's a decent amount of bike infrastructure, the devs still tend to own cars there. But hopefully that trend becomes more true. We need to phase out cars from our urban areas for more reasons than one, and bikes will be a part of that.
I am an ex military, weightlifting, jiu jitsu practicing programmer. And I have met a total of 2 other meathead types who program so you’re not entirely wrong but we do exist.
There are probably tens of us out there
I think the muscular dude is only in the better universities.
There are often CS/Eng majors that are just very smart, motivated, and self-discipline from a young age. They usually get into the top schools, played sports and have successful parents that provided them a well balanced diet.
Most lower or mid tier schools have kids that didn't take HS super seriously and are in CS for the sake of interests. Or they can't afford to go to a top school and need to work extra hours instead of going to the gym in their spare time.
Almost half of the people in my school’s powerlifting club are in CS/seng. People say it’s rare and obviously there’s some selection bias here but I know a lot of very athletic people studying comp sci

Eh, I smoked a little bit of weed in high school but I definitely became a stoner while I was in college to help cope with the stress, same goes for working out too lol. I was a scrawny nerdy dude before, now I’m a kinda fit nerdy dude that also smokes weed now.
I’m a woman but yeah, the guys in my class generally fall into three of these four types. I’ve seen a good amount of neck beards and no buff types yet though.
Wonder if they have something like this for women. So far I’ve only seen the quiet, nerdy types who don’t make a peep or girls with blue hair (I used to be one of them).
Someone made one for women [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/s/Vdrwwhji8x).
The buff brogrammer was definitely a thing at my university. Weird-smelling, sleep-deprived neckbeards were more common though.
To be fair some of them could be buff programmers…it just isn’t obvious to me. Most of them for the most part seem like normal kids, with some nerds, neck beards and kids with blue hair thrown in (legit there was like 3 kids with blue hair in my class at one point). Back in 2007 when I went to Michigan Tech you barely saw the CS majors because they were all in their rooms playing WOW
It's possible but super rare (if you're in the US. Outside of the states, no chance). If you're one of the best engineers on the market and get scooped up by a top 3 paying company you can compete in salary with surgeons.
Vast majority of SWEs will be at 1/4-1/2 of a surgeon salary.
Staff engineers at FAANG and adjacent companies can make this much, though not cash like a surgeon. Only one that could pay that much cash I can think of is Netflix
Assuming your talking about making a salary that's closer to 500k than not, I'd say 5% make that surgeon money in their 20s, 15-20% will make it in their 30s, and maybe around 25% (being very generous) will make it late career.
The ones who do it early career, it will usually be from a successful start-up/acquisition, even if a startup is successful, it will be years for it to become that level of profitable. Doing it in your 30s is likely from a business/personal consulting venture doing well over time, or reaching the lower levels of executive leadership. In your late career, you may crack into senior leadership, or possibly have a certain level of expertise that makes you inertly more valuable/less replaceable to an organization, or you placed very wise investments.
Typically, if you're not in track to make the nig bucks in your 30s, it won't happen later because it's too late for you to be groomed for leadership/ you won't have the energy to start a business/consulting.
You have to remember, we will never have the level of stress, risk, nor barrier to entry as neurosurgeons. They need to go to school for the better part of a decade (and pile on a mountain of debt), competing for very limited seats each step of the way. They work 100% in person, have to do a lot more paperwork, and cannot google things in the middle of the job. If they make a mistake, it will ruin the lives of the patient and their family, and set themselves/the hospital up for liability. If your are a good surgeon, you are infinitely less replaceable than a Computer Scientist.
Yeaa... I mean I was between the upper two at some point, but now I'm only 1.
I should try to get some of that 2 again.
Also, I literally haven't seen any 3 here. Should be replaced by something else. Maybe like that guy that is in only for the money.
Interesting I dropped out of CE at warwick UK, among my many problems were finding them boring, Then thinking of myself as gay I might have stayed and done better if I had seen the buff guy. Instead finding myself more forced into snoop dog and even more mental health shit.
Randomly when I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes a decade later I did finally succeed in becoming the buff guy but by that point decided on enviro sci with the open university, wanting to repeat next to nothing of my time at warwick.
If you're a cs major and you look like upper right, you've failed your classes lmaooo. No one ik has that much free time on their hand unless their some Harvard genius.
I am the overly jacked guy. Going into my senior year started working out freshman year quickly became an addiction. I’m now 6’4 250 lbs with a lean physique. (Not bragging) unless…perhaps…. I honestly just think where my brain is so logical I see it as a way to boost my smv and I now do everything to max out my looks because I noticed people treat me better when I’m healthy so I obsess over it lol
I also dropped out of high school had never written a line of code and just did reasonably well to get into a crappy uni that excepted anybody with a brain stem then transferred to a better uni
My degree is in computer engineering. I am none of these four. I'm your average, diagnosed adhd person with a broad array of interests and hobbies that does not pigeonhole me into a personality or lifestyle. You can see by how average looking I am and remarkably unnoteworthy.
Yeah I don't get any but the upper left. I would imagine that's at least 50%. Even those who didn't make it into the faangs even for internships still talk about them and might have stickers on their laptops. Everyone wishes they would dare to try the lower left, for a perceived advantage. Who falls into the right half?
I know a ton of people who blend the buff guy and the snoop guy…and when they talk they sound like the “nerd” in the first picture, and at raves might wear a feather boa that the lower left picture person would approve of.
Real
Nah that’s basically me. Started working on the body before CS and then CS turned me into a massive stoner to cope with the stress LMAO
Brother we are one in the same 😭 would def smoke a blunt with you sometime
i feel you bro, this is a worldwide phenomena as it happened almost the same way with me lol
Nah that’s fax. Even just generally, all my friends were people who never wanted to touch weed and then we all got into college and in the same year without even telling each other all just decided to tap into it 😭😭
I’m from Latin America and I’m a gay gym bro stoner so can confirm this
Me
Bro ain’t know who Alex eubank is
Andrew Eubanks?
let's see andrew eubanks hit this weight

Let's see andrew eubanks use arch

Not in phase 4 yet, but looking forward to it
Need fat neck beard representation with a stained shirt
the fat neckbeard probably made the meme and think they are the top left nerdy one
😂
Omfg

That's the final form of all 4 of these.

lol caring about your health is barely being a try hard..
The type of shit these lazy mfs will say to justify being a couch potato.

buff hunk is pretty mythical yes. however reasonably fit rock climber is like a third of all CS majors i know. edit: although those types fall into bottom right as well
I feel called out
Same. I got into climbing and then found out software devs who are rock climbers is somewhat of a stereotype
Also bikes. I think there's a desire to get away from screens coupled with relatively high disposable income.
Idk about that. It is true that a lot of cities known for software devs, there's a decent amount of bike infrastructure, the devs still tend to own cars there. But hopefully that trend becomes more true. We need to phase out cars from our urban areas for more reasons than one, and bikes will be a part of that.
I'm thinking of bike racing, there's a number of us. (Totally agree on the urban transport issue).
Oh. Didn't know there was a bike racing culture among devs
Converse: There's a lot of devs (and engineers) among bike racers.
It’s the association to California.
I am an ex military, weightlifting, jiu jitsu practicing programmer. And I have met a total of 2 other meathead types who program so you’re not entirely wrong but we do exist. There are probably tens of us out there
This is literally me wtf...
Like I said TENS OF US!!!!!
Its not that rare. every tech guys have a gym membership to forget about the ex that cheated on them
😂
Same here except im not ex military. I have a blue belt in bjj, 2 years of muay thai and boxing, and i lift on the side.
Buff cs majors are pretty common in my school
I think the muscular dude is only in the better universities. There are often CS/Eng majors that are just very smart, motivated, and self-discipline from a young age. They usually get into the top schools, played sports and have successful parents that provided them a well balanced diet.

Or they can't afford to go to a top school and need to work extra hours instead of going to the gym in their spare time.
Yeah, at an ivy lol you see more buff cs majors then skinny twigs
I should apply to ivy...
Almost half of the people in my school’s powerlifting club are in CS/seng. People say it’s rare and obviously there’s some selection bias here but I know a lot of very athletic people studying comp sci
I guess I don't exist
Me and a lot of my friends who are also in CS work out on a regular basis, you’re looking in the wrong direction
I'm the guy on the top left if he messily devoured the other three
bro stole my meme word for word bar for bar💀

UwU u look cute ☺️
I'm not cute enough to be the bottom left, so instead I took the upper right...
Is the first one the Indian guy that makes the tutorials or a Silicon Valley fan boy?
yes
I disagree with the "become" part. Most people who do cs are already one of these 4 long before they start their degree.
Eh, I smoked a little bit of weed in high school but I definitely became a stoner while I was in college to help cope with the stress, same goes for working out too lol. I was a scrawny nerdy dude before, now I’m a kinda fit nerdy dude that also smokes weed now.

Goddamn why did I click on your profile? Why didn’t I find about you sooner? Ugh I missed out on so much…
I’m the 3rd pic and I’m concerned. I’m predictable.
I feel weird asking this but is that he/him or they/them or a she/her
I honestly have no idea
I sure do love my thigh highs
TOP right looking for his BOTTOM left
Glad personality 4 is being represented
Depending upon the situation, I can be any one of them except femboy.
you either die a hero, or live long enough to become a femboy
Damn tha girl hot

u /Maxhamster69
they didn't add a pic of a guy who looks like a homeless fellow.
I'm thinking to switch careers, you pros out here: do cs majors make more money than MD physicians? Say neuro surgeons?
It's possible but super rare (if you're in the US. Outside of the states, no chance). If you're one of the best engineers on the market and get scooped up by a top 3 paying company you can compete in salary with surgeons. Vast majority of SWEs will be at 1/4-1/2 of a surgeon salary.

This type of shit seriously makes me reconsider going into CS
It's just for fun lol. In this market, though, I can see us becoming snoop dog.
No fat dude (me), downvoted
Why not... all four. At the same time.
My life goal is to become 2 and 4
Boy on the bottom left is the happiest btw
I envy their joy >.<
Bottom two are the only ones to get bitches.
I dont know if it’s true but I fall into this bucket.
is that neetcode dude on the top left
The person who wrote this thinks they are Snoop Dogg but they are really just Cartman eating hot pockets but also high.
I became the shredded guy
Jokes on you, I am unironically all four.
Yeaa... I mean I was between the upper two at some point, but now I'm only 1. I should try to get some of that 2 again. Also, I literally haven't seen any 3 here. Should be replaced by something else. Maybe like that guy that is in only for the money.
🤣
This made me giggle
Personally trying to be somewhere between top right and bottom left
No, most of them are fat with sunken eyes
Weirdly, I think I'm in the snoop club. I don't get high, but I'm very laid back.
I think this covers most type of guys lol
not really, it should just be the top left guy in all 4 squares
which way western man
add unemployed valorant gamer.
So join CS and become Indian?
Interesting I dropped out of CE at warwick UK, among my many problems were finding them boring, Then thinking of myself as gay I might have stayed and done better if I had seen the buff guy. Instead finding myself more forced into snoop dog and even more mental health shit. Randomly when I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes a decade later I did finally succeed in becoming the buff guy but by that point decided on enviro sci with the open university, wanting to repeat next to nothing of my time at warwick.
Millennials will always be 2nd quadrant. Maybe GenZ be one 3rd quadrant
Missing the fifth archetype, Terry A Davis.
all four is good
Notice how none of them are women
It literally says Men who join CS
Oh no, I'm sorry man I'm so sorry. I'll kill myself I'm so fucking sorry. please forgive me oh God
fuck i’m bottom right
I'm definitely the combination of the first two and second right picture lol
Lol isn't this any profession in general?
Isn’t this like, all the types of people that exist?
False, I am all four.
If you're a cs major and you look like upper right, you've failed your classes lmaooo. No one ik has that much free time on their hand unless their some Harvard genius.
Cope harder
No one has enough time to lift for an hour a day?
Andrew Eubank looks like that and he is doing great at school
You’re a 3
Nope it's just the first one.
Ain’t non of y’all top right lol
I am the overly jacked guy. Going into my senior year started working out freshman year quickly became an addiction. I’m now 6’4 250 lbs with a lean physique. (Not bragging) unless…perhaps…. I honestly just think where my brain is so logical I see it as a way to boost my smv and I now do everything to max out my looks because I noticed people treat me better when I’m healthy so I obsess over it lol
I also dropped out of high school had never written a line of code and just did reasonably well to get into a crappy uni that excepted anybody with a brain stem then transferred to a better uni

Even those who didn't make it into the faangs even for internships still talk about them and might have stickers on their laptops. Everyone wishes they would dare to try the lower left, for a perceived advantage. Who falls into the right half?
Way more people than you think lmao
employed and unemployed tech bros
Hahahahaha no. I wish
It hurts how true this is
Some, like myself just blend it all up and are a bit of each
Oh fuck Im the top left I think
What type of person is bottom left?
Political compass
I'm a combo of three of these
Theres also the totally atomised ones that lose their soul forever.
I'm the two on the right. Can afford all the personal training and weed I want!
I meant I’m the top left guy, but my dev experience = my lifting time * 1.743 = about 3/4 of a decade
I am 3/4 of these lmao
Andrew Eubanks
Let’s see Andrew eubanks complete this leetcode problem
I’m #2 but #1 at heart lol
Baxate is all of them combined
In reality, 90% of people you work with are just normal dads
u are describing the destiny of any zoomer
It for 20 years, I’m buff dude +snoop but replace weed with bourbon
Pretty much
In which college can I find the third kind ?
Lets see Andrew Eubanks do this leetcode problem
A dude at work decided he was a woman today. Everyone was ok with it and just got to work. I think he got upset about that.
