Intelligent. Scruffy. Intense. Abstracted. Surprisingly for a sedentary profession, more hackers run to skinny than fat; both extremes are more common than elsewhere. Tans are rare. Prev Up Next AppendixB.A Portrait of J.
Although the mainstream media may believe otherwise, hackers do not have any particular uniform or appearance. Anyone you see in the supermarket could be a hacker. Since the majority of people are proletarians the typical hacker just looks like any other prole. Occasionally they may be distinguished by wearing T-shirts or hoodies with software/distro/conference logos on them. At the end of the 20th century hackers were mostly caucasian 20-something dudes from middle class families and living in Europe or the US, but as computing and knowledge became cheaper and more ubiquitous the initially privileged profile gave way to total generality. Today the main distinguishing feature of hackers is being interested in computers and tinkering with them, not any particular physical appearance or economic status.
