I really enjoy programming and the theory behind algorithms, but I don't care about computers. I know how they work of course, because this is essential to being a good programmer, but I don't care about computer hardware. I couldn't even tell you off the top of my head which graphics card or processor I have in my machine. I've never built my own computer either. I've always had hand-me-down computers from tech-savvy friends and family.
Anyone else like this? I feel like I'm in the minority.

I use my computer constantly, but I don't like computers. I like information - and computers are currently the best tools for accessing information.
Such is the plight of an INTP.
Christian Young
OP here. INTP as well. I really hope this graph isn't real.
Tyler Cook
I think it takes into account all the perpetually NEET INTPs. INTPs who manage to hold down a job seem to do okay for themselves.
Lincoln Richardson
look at these fucking gentiles
Those who have unusual interest in hardware are just buyfags ("consumers","sheeple")
When you see a buyfag thread, hide it and move on.
You aren't really in a minority; I doubt Sup Forums really has a majority group.
you are just among a specific group.
Joshua Reed
Even though the Briggs mode is a shit, I'm "INTP" and ADHD, probably Asperger's, but married and making $90k/yr.
INTPs can make it.
Henry Cruz
Thanks family. Do you think she married you for the cheddar?
Parker Turner
Sup Forums is overrun with gamer retards these days, but there are still people like us left here
Any discussion of hardware is an enormous red flag desu.
Cameron Foster
do you care about CPU internals, EE, and other low-level hardware theory?
Ryder Nelson
Not that much desu Maybe if I took a closer look at it though
Xavier Smith
It sounds like you're a normal computer scientist
Luis Brooks
>believes in personality types
They're just horoscopes for atheists.
Andrew Morris
hardware specs are literally the lowest hanging fruit of computers. any retard can look at FLOP/s and identify the larger number. that's kind of the point of specs. to allow instant identification of the superior device by a barmaid.
what takes understanding is WHY certain circuits are more effective than others at specific tasks
Aaron Robinson
Really really funny post. I will have to remember that one.
Hudson Hall
tfw you did the test and got istp and its not even on the list.
Leo Garcia
Yes, switch to higher abstractions like FP (Haskell)
Colton Long
you never counted anyway
Evan Ross
>that's kind of the point of specs. to allow instant identification of the superior device by a barmaid. ??? no, specs are supposed to be hard numbers to specify what the hardware can do would you rather have "our gpu does 40 fps in withcer 3 at [detailed description of their setup]" than "20 gigaflops"? Note how the first can change with updates to the game, the graphics driver, etc. while the latter one is unlikely to change (significantly). They're objective and easily verified most of the time.
Dominic Perez
The majority prefer your views (at least at the uni I go to) I prefer the hardware side and I think im in the minority lol.
Henry Long
kind of the same in that I don't get excited by technology, like new phones and hardware and shit. I also don't care about shit like what OS/distro/desktop environment to use, just whatever lets me get my work done.
Julian Cox
as an intp, i wonder how many people on Sup Forums are intps
Connor Harris
Who is this dilf?
Oliver Nelson
It depends on what level you are programming on. If you're programming close to the hardware, then it's C and Assembler and so on...
Me, I'm not even interested in dicking around with various compilers. I just want a simple install file for an IDE. The best configuration is the one I don't have to do.
Elijah Roberts
me too. I actually built a computer before, but since ~2011 i just use a mac haha.
Aiden Torres
More like gilf but I also want to know
Gavin Scott
This describes me too very well. What do you do?
Chase Carter
You mean horoscopes for slightly less gullible people. Religion has nothing to do with horoscopes.
Gabriel Miller
I feel like that is actually the majority. It's the majority that I see at work.
