From: Michael Lopp’s book Being Geek – O’Reilly Media
In chapter 23, the author addresses the nerd’s significant other.
Here are a few pretty significant sentences:
Your nerd knows very little about a lot. For many topics, his knowledge is an inch deep and four miles wide. He’s comfortable with this fact because he knows that deep knowledge about any topic is a clever keystroke away.
I would seriously appreciate, if prospective clients and employers shared this perception. I think, he is completely right with this. After more than 25 years in IT, do you think, that any module in Lisp, Perl, Ruby, or whatever is slightly close to rocket science?
