Okay, I love programming - making my code better faster more readable^^ but I am not a nerd, I have no idea what's going on in star wars or star trek, I do not fucking care about Game of Thrones - I prefer to go out in some clubs and so... I hate it when people are so fucking surprised about my job and interests.

There are programmers who are not nerds live with it!

    Not being a nerd doesn't have to equal being a dick.

    Because watching Star Wars is the definition of being a nerd.. right....

    Yeah, it's the world's biggest media franchise, owned and to the benefit of the World's largest media company. There isn't much more mainstream than Star Wars. I would wager that my position of disliking it for its shitty writing since the 90s, and its obvious blatant productization is more nerdy than actually liking it. Fuck Disney in its litigious, public-domain killing eye-hole.

    GoT, star wars and stuff like that are mostly geeky topics and not nerdy.
    Programming tends to be a bit more nerdy than geeky in general.

    So based on what you're saying, I'd say you're programming geek. Congratulations.

    @WildOrangutan it's not about being geeky or nerdy for me - it's the problem that people start to talk about this topics because I am a IT-guy I have to know about the Avengers and so on...but no I am hyped for the next football match you know?

    Yeah, I don't think it is at all. It's easily the most popular show on cable.

    @iSwimInTheC fantasy is always a little bit nerdy? With dragons and wizards :)

    Yep, a shirt & tie wearing PM by day and bumping OGs & Kendrick in a low rider by night with a shotgun by the car seat.

    I walk out and find a gang & point it at them and say "AWS Lambda or Kubernettes" and then "wrong answer!"

    @KontraK I guess? But it subverts all the stereotypes of a common fantasy adventure show.
