Computers Personified

You know the nerd, as inhuman as its computer. The nerd never takes its fingers off the keyboard nor its eyes off the screen. The nerd does not feel. The nerd scarcely even speaks. But the nerd can be more than the commune between computer and programmer depicted in stereotypes. If programmers, as computers personified, have not charity, they are nothing. Programmers and computers fail only when love of code replaces love of people. Programmers who love impact people more than technology. Programmers personify computers, not because they are the human representation of an emotionless computer but because they infuse the inhuman computer with humanity.
