RE: Dare to be Different
Hah, glad I could make your morning a bit brighter and full of laughter!
Another observation, especially if you're seen 21 Jump Street. Some 30 year old cops go undercover in a high school to try and bust a drug ring, and there is a running joke that the nerdy cop (Jonah Hill) who was an outcast when he was in high school actually find himself in the cool kids group, while the one-time popular jock (Channing Tatum) finds himself part of the unpopular kids. There was still pressure to "fit in", but the pressure was to fit in to a different kind of crowd in 2015 vs 2000. Maybe that's all it is - pressure to conform is still there, but the mold is shaped differently than it was before?
That's an astute observation, and one that is probably quite accurate. Today coders, program developers, and what would have been described as 'nerds' 30 years ago are now held in much higher regard.
