They're all the same person

The bottom 2 seem accurate. Source: I'm an IT person

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 58 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The bottom two are just the top two at home.

But, like, are there types of IT women? Asking cause I am one and don't know any tropes for us lol

[–] Abnorc@lemm.ee 43 points 1 week ago

Go forth and forge your own destiny, free of stereotypes. Or just be Alex from YIIK idk.

[–] Glitch@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Every IT woman I've worked with kicks ass and is really cool, doesn't realize how cool and inspiring they are. Until management, then I have no idea how they got there, they can't seem to use a computer let alone assist with IT related decision making.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

I would love to fit that description and I hope my coworkers think I'm cool lol. I never want to be in a position of power in this field because I have already dealt with enough dumb bullshit on the daily lol

Unicorn.... Nah, I'm kidding fortunately for women there's no strong stereotypes. There were enough women in my gigs that the individuality was easily apparent.

Since that's isn't really fun I'll pull some very broad strokes descriptions out my rear end and see which one resonates with you.

The Professional Mom: 8-4:30 on the dot but maximum effort during working hours and never ever seen goofing off or chit chatting (lunch included). Pretty chill though and smart as hell.

The boardgame/crossword girl: most likely to be gender fluid. Don't ever mistake her for "gamer girl". Will happily shoot the shit with you and goof off if you treat her like human being. Will probably have real experiences of getting work/credit stolen by tech bros.

The optimistic young coder: super jazzed about being the in the field and learning everything about anything. A people pleaser to a fault. Give it two to three years before she's completely jaded. Until then, an absolute sponge of knowledge.

The cut throat career track woman: absolutely obsessed with advancing her status. Tech bros learn brutality from these ladies. Usually transition to pure management or product divisions pretty early. Also most likely to organize the "women in tech" meetings for clout in the current company. Stay on their good side for your sake.

Doesn't have the guy who seems to always be asleep at the desk but is also somehow the most efficient IT worker.

[–] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 41 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Why do you think they have time to sleep?

[–] knightly@pawb.social 9 points 1 week ago

If IT is doing everything right then most of the time there won't be much for them to do. I'd much rather they spent most of their time waiting for incident tickets than constantly putting out fires.

What's the stereotype with top right?

Asking because if I had to lump myself somewhere, it's that one.

But if it sucks... I guess I'll go wear a sailor uniform.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The "lumberjack" style / hipster.

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Ew... Gross.

I'll wear the femboi outfit.

Yeah thanks Gilfoyle!

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We have two IT guys, one of them is three of these and the other is the fourth. The guy who is all three is actually the anime girl on VR Chat in his spare time :)

[–] Mr_Reach@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm guessing the other guy's a furry then.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Both are, just one is in denial

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

I'm not the bottom two, that much I know.
I can't grow a beard... oh no.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is a weird political compass

[–] Atherel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago

At least it's not lost

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Got a coworker on my team who is type 4. He's the glue that holds the team together, nobody knows anywhere as much as he does.

If he ever leaves, the whole team is screwed and the project is dead in the water.

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Somehow it's missing the clean cut Indian developer guy, the emo developer, the script kiddie, the Linux fan, the windows fan, the IBM frat boy, the open BSD lunatics and the one guy who loves trains too much

Number 1 is number 3 when online.

Number 2 is number 4 when at the convention.

There are 2 types of IT guys.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 week ago

I see this as more of a quadrant chart

[–] hmmm@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Do I have to choose one of this?

You can't be everything at same time???

I'm not a dweeb, nor a hipster. I'm not a femboy, nor a furry. I am allied to all of the above, though.

What am I?

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The guy who actually gets work done so in turn you are to busy to look in a mirror making you the de facto top left.

I guess I'm top left. If it has to be that three. I'm pretty sure whoever came up with that needs to show us where IT touched them on the Anatomically Neutral doll.

[–] 1985MustangCobra@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

im the one in the top left without the acne and glasses. fite me.
