 It's normal for computer nerds to be physically attractive.  
 It really is. Society has cultivated this image of the tech world as these creepy, nerdy, unwashed folks.  
 Yeah. Been seeing comments insinuating that some developers are just frontmen, cuz WHY SO HOT?

Cuz reasons, obviously. 😅  Get over it. 
 Its 2024 devs know how to take the angles 
 Maybe on nostr. 

Silicon valley? No.  
 I will have a better day thinking I'm a physically attractive nerd. Thanks! 
 Anytime. 
 Yep, very true.

I turn heads everywhere I go 🤣 
 I love the pfp 
 Thanks! 
 Totally agree https://i.nostr.build/sYQdvNIPcioRn2rL.jpg  
 😅  
 😂 
 Time for a 'hotornot.com' on nostr? Anyone remember that one? 
 LOL did Photofeeler, once, for shits and giggles, and some of them gave me a 4/10.
Also, I apparently look stupid. 😅  
 Some software projects actually have seriously unattractive leads (like some altcoins, not gonna name names, trying to be nice) and laymen think this is somehow proof of their genius, but it's hogwash. 
 A small businessperson I knew would judge people on shape of eyes, length/shape of eyelashes, shape of lips. 

I was like na, cant be true. 

They were pretty successful

 
 To other computer nerds, perhaps. 
 😅  ouch 
 Need more data. 
 Take me as the baseline. 😜  
 why is that such a big thing on the modern internet anyway
i mean some are, some are not, it's just messed up when whatever else you've done you're still being mainly valued (or seen as worthless) based on how conventionally physically attractive you are 
 status quo normies have a difficult time understanding what's outside of their constructed view points. So when you have a attractive person who is also brilliant, they think its impossible. But these folks exist all the time :) Also what's beauty in one culture is ugly in another. 
 kinda like karnage's bias note right here note1ju5cezuzuq5enz63fkcf8rup73xnrqx05s8e6vm0nsqpq32c9jzse72fut 
 You’ve never seen me
