Understanding Geeks

[credit to Scott Johnson for the image] 

When I read this article from Inc.com I turned around to see if I was being followed. Whilst I don't think I'm classic geek material, some of this is way too accurate. Habitat, psychology and motivation in particular.

  • If there's one common characteristic of an ideal techie workplace, it's darkness (check)
  • A small desk lamp, perhaps, is all the light most geeks can comfortably handle while at the keyboard (check)
  • "Good enough" really isn't for most geeks" (check)
  • Intellectual curiosity (check)
  • Competitive nature (check)
  • Wrong? Never (see above)

Scary.
