No, you're not alone - I get annoyed any time I see "geek", "nerd", or "hackers" used when people really me "programmers" (or "coders", or even worse when they mean "designer" / "developer")...
I don't know, maybe it's because people like to use computers but see them as 'too hard' to understand how they work. Which is intersting, because many people see cars as being hard to understand, yet I've never heard a mechanic being called a geek/nerd...
plus, it's especially amusing when journalists do it - they write for a living too, it's just using a different language ;) |
