Not only that, but as somebody who was actually a nerd before it was popular, I'm terrified of the "coolification" of geekiness. As an actual awkward social misfit, I'm pretty sure that if nerdiness actually becomes trendy, I'll be uninvited from the "club". It used to be that, at the very least, there was a place for me because I could read hexadecimal and recite the TCP header format. If computer programming becomes any "hipper", I won't even have a place here.
