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

This image is frighteningly accurate. The IT guy at my current job is top left. The IT guy at my last job was top right. My friend from my discord server who works in IT has said for years that everyone who works in IT is either a neckbeard, a femboy, or a furry. He's a furry.
Not 100% sure I nailed it but the 4 pics made me thing PC meme.
I'm a bottom left!
You forgot a comma.
and don't call me Left!
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.
Top right is the guy I want to be! Total chad!
The Inquisition has no power over the Adeptus Mechanicus, meat sack!
Number 1 is number 3 when online.
Number 2 is number 4 when at the convention.
There are 2 types of IT guys.
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.
Why are none of them Noel Fielding?
noel isn't actually an IT guy, he's the random guy that broke into your building but is too chill to be kicked out.
Also he's kinda funny.
the four types of men*
FTFY
am bottom left :3c
So you're... a bottom. And left.
am bottom :3 ~~left :3c~~
also ngl may become the bottom right pic in the future lmao
What makes you do those things? Just curious.
I'm not the bottom two, that much I know.
I can't grow a beard... oh no.
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.
The "lumberjack" style / hipster.
Yeah thanks Gilfoyle!
Do I have to choose one of this?
You can't be everything at same time???
The superposition IT guy
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?
If you have to ask, you're #1.
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.
Damn, you right
They are all dweebs. Top left is a dweeb and a villainous creep. Lenny Baxter kidnapped the Powerpuff Girls to add to his collection.

But, like, are there types of IT women? Asking cause I am one and don't know any tropes for us lol
yeah, the answer is none, because im pretty sure 80-90% of the field is men still :(
(this is a stereotype meme, so it fits, don't @ me)
I mean, I'm the only woman tech my company has hired ever, so your statement is kinda accurate.
idk what the actual stats are, mostly cuz i don't really care, and it also depends on where you look, obviously. But i was mostly going off of anecotal experience, and uh, it's definitely not looking great. But then again a lot of younger women are going to stem fields, more so than IT and admin stuff. Management as well, i might have to look into some actual statistics one of these days to see what's actually going on lmao.
but it's definitely one of the things of all time in the CS space right now. It's still very male centric, for some reason.
My major on college started off with 12 women in my class. At graduation, there were only 3 of us. Dealing with the sexism made most of the women drop out and go into something different. I stuck with it because I wanted to be successful in it out of spite. I see a lot of my former classmates working local retail jobs because they can't get anything in this field. Honestly feels good to be more successful than the men who looked down on me lol.
yeah i can imagine, probably also depends on where you live, and go to school at. For me it was easily 90+ % men. I don't know if there was any overt sexism in the education space (workspace i can imagine there is, but that's just how it is unfortunately), but it's definitely a little imposing walking into a room full of primarily men/women as the other gender and just trying to be normal lol.
I think a lot of the problem, at least historically, is that women just weren't as educated on technology as men, both throughout childhood and education. That's changed over time now, thankfully, but i wonder if it's more influenced by women focusing on more highly educated fields, and men moving out of those fields, and into things like CS that are still educated, but not as much as something like, micro biology, for example.
Personally as a linux user myself, i'm just happy seeing people learn about the technology they use, and learning to utilize it more effectively, possibly even learning how to create it lol. It's an indispensably useful skill to have. Especially with how "stupid proof" modern operating systems like IOS can be. I would like to see more women in the field, but unfortunately i'm not familiar enough with it to make any significant prognosis here. Other than "you should try to self educate in your free time where possible" it might make life more interesting, you never know.
Go forth and forge your own destiny, free of stereotypes. Or just be Alex from YIIK idk.
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.
