    So interesting. I’m a programmer, I know a lot of programmers, and I’d hate to think that any of them wouldn’t immediately recognise the issue.

    Not sure if you’re the outlier or I am.

      I’ve taught upper level comp sci at a STEM school and I think a majority of my students wouldn’t know what they were looking at in this picture.

      People who’ve written doctoral theses on machine learning and and natural language processing have asked me for help building their gaming rig.

      Not to say its universal, but the Venn Diagram of programmers and hardware nerds is far from a circle.

        I’m definitely not a hardware nerd. I don’t know what the current generation graphics cards are called, I have no opinions on liquid cooling, and I haven’t bought RAM in a decade. I can still tell that CPU has no cooling at a glance.
