Stereotypes

What’s a person working in IT like? Is there an image that comes to mind, like a Matrix character hacking things for fun?

There are definitely many stereotypes surrounding the industry, but have they actually become obsolete or do they have any truth to them?

Last week we mentioned giving our team a questionnaire. One of the questions was about special hobbies and interests that people at CleverDev have. Some of the responses were quite surprising for your ‘typical IT professional’:

• I’m really into track and field. I love team sports, like soccer, volleyball or … chess. I think a lot about space-time and the meaning of things.
• I enjoy traveling, photography and getting to know people!
• My favorite things include long walks, going out to beautiful places for my morning cup of coffee and saving tons of recipes that I’ll never actually cook.
• I organize cycle travel events, play ping-pong and rollerblade.

How about that, huh?

Still, our personal favorites were these two:

• A dear hobby of mine is thorough planning. There’s another one there: it’s procrastinating.
• I just really love spending time at my computer, and if it also pays well — that’s a dream come true!

Stay tuned for an essay on company values next week, and hope all your dreams come true this weekend too.
