programie

Programie is a term that emerged from online communities, particularly those related to programming and internet culture. It generally refers to a person who is perceived as overly enthusiastic, perhaps to an extreme, about programming and technology. This enthusiasm can manifest in various ways, including discussing programming topics at length, expressing a strong preference for certain programming languages or tools, and demonstrating a deep understanding of technical details.

The term is often used colloquially and can carry a slightly humorous or even derogatory connotation, depending on the context. It can imply that someone is so immersed in the world of programming that they may appear socially awkward or out of touch with non-technical matters. However, it can also be used affectionately or descriptively to acknowledge someone's passion and expertise in the field.

The concept of a "programie" is subjective and can vary between different online groups. What one group considers "programie" behavior, another might see as simply being passionate and knowledgeable. The term highlights the cultural nuances surrounding the perception of individuals deeply involved in technology and software development. It is not a formal designation but rather a descriptor used in informal discussions.
