The days of anti-social nerds that found a community to laugh and drink a beer after work is over.
Meh, you can still find that culture, it's just a lot harder to come across now. Basically if your office is a bunch of White guys who are into tech you can have that, but policy is that everyone has to force in some women and diversity hires to fuck everything up. I have never had a better work environment than when it was exclusively White male nerds. The fact that we aren't allowed to have that anymore is nothing short of criminal and I mean that sincerely and without an iota of hyperbole.

We were lots of guys and a few nerdy girls. I'm still close to most of them. But that was some time ago. I don't see that dynamic anymore.
It's definitely vanishing, I'll grant you that. I just don't think it's fully extinct yet. Maybe that's willful denial on my part, but I hope not.
