Excelente artigo para compreender nerds


Aprendi um pouco sobre mim próprio ao ler um artigo que passo a linkar:

The nerd handbook


A introdução:
A nerd needs a project because a nerd builds stuff. All the time. Those lulls in the conversation over dinner? That’s the nerd working on his project in his head.

It’s unlikely that this project is a nerd’s day job because his opinion regarding his job is, “Been there, done that”. We’ll explore the consequences of this seemingly short attention span in a bit, but for now this project is the other big thing your nerd is building and I’ve no idea what is, but you should.

At some point, you, the nerd’s companion, were the project. You were showered with the fire hose of attention because you were the bright and shiny new development in your nerd’s life. There is also a chance that you’re lucky and you are currently your nerd’s project. Congrats. Don’t get too comfortable because he’ll move on, and, when that happens, you’ll be wondering what happened to all the attention. This handbook might help.


Tópicos cobertos no artigo:
Understand your nerd’s relation to the computer
Your nerd has control issues
Your nerd has built himself a cave
Your nerd loves toys and puzzles
Nerds are fucking funny
Your nerd has an amazing appetite for information
Your nerd has built an annoyingly efficient relevancy engine in his head
Your nerd might come off as not liking people


E no fim ainda mostra como lidar com estas características. Não considero que o artigo se possa aplicar a 100% a mim porque não me considero um puro nerd. No entanto é muito interessante para todos os nerds esta "seen from the outside perspective". Enjoy :D
