I think you have some unresolved emotions regarding the "nerd/jock thing".

I just did the vouch that got you unflagged enough that I can comment. It’s a pissy remark, but I’ve done plenty of that myself, and frankly you’re not completely wrong.

Ive got my knickers a bit twisted that looking like a jock seems to produce more recognition than actually being a nerd. And if I feel like my accomplishments kind of sit in the shadow of my appearance or demographics or whatever, it must be 100x worse for some people, which sucks ass and is kinda depressing.

Code should talk, and bullshit should walk.
