@mhoye A lot of programming culture still seems to be rooted in the Good Old Days, when programmers wore t-shirts and sneakers where everyone else wore suits, and spoke in a mixture of technical terminology and slang from the Hacker's Dictionary. When programming was just coding, and formalised project management processes were new. Technology experts may love innovation, but they are as susceptible to rose-tinted nostalgia as anyone.
Might have to disillusion a few old-school nerds.
