The authors experience with geeks is in IT, of course he hates them.
Also IT is the bottom of the barrel when it comes to technology jobs, reserved for those slothes that are too lazy or scared to try for an engineering degree. You definitely (congratulations
http://www.d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y.com/, you finally have me spelling that right) will run into the lowest common denominator of the geek personality in that sector. IT being as it is would be why so many /b/tards are l33t because they work in the IT industry.
Even in my University I see many of these "anti-personalities," as the author puts it. The school seems to be seperated into the following classes: computers geeks who came to study programming, lazy fucks who have their parents paying top dollar for the equivalent of gaining knowledge for your A+, etc. but their addiction to WoW makes them fail even in that course, jocks who thought "electronics engineering" sounds cool and rarely an electronics geek.
