      I thought no one wanted to make neckbeard jokes because it would summon one to “ummm ackshully” all of us.

      As someone who works in tech, my stereotype of “average tech worker” is going to be more like a guy named Praveen (there’s two Praveens on my team right now). But tech tends to have a lot of diverse backgrounds, since tech jobs usually care more about what you can do than where you’re from or what school you went to.

      I’ve worked with 1 known ftm and didn’t know until 4 years in. I work in a 250 person org which is fairly progressive. I wonder if it’s that easy at a lot of bigger and vc tech.

      I have worked with plenty of neck beard types, as well as more average folks. So this meme doesn’t match my experience at all.
