"Coder" stock photos

Same with the hackers in movies. Crack the password! One panel/tab on the monitor has the title “Source Code”
What? Are we not supposed to put that on the login page? Next you'll be telling me to remove the "Inject SQL" button ...

Why does every stock photo for "coder" or anything related to software development always feature HTML, Javascript, or minified CSS as the screenshot the exemplifies hard core coding. (although I guess I know the answer: designers) I wanna see some BASIC in those screenshots. Or Scratch.

I was always fond of 2 or 3 gears.
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

Because if you used "real code" you'd probably want "real coders" as well, and ... some of them don't photograph well. :~

I find that how well I photograph is inversely proportional to how much code I am writing at the time.

Ooooh... line printer ASCII art!

That, unironically, was my jam in the early 90s.

There was a span of a good 15 years or so where it seemed like almost every time I saw a code snippet in marketing materials it was rendered in the Chicago typeface. Chicago, for the young’uns, is the original font used for system text like buttons and menus on the Mac. Aside from being not even close to monospace, it was designed *specifically* to be used as title text on low-res, 1-bit displays. Nobody ever used it for code without first uttering the sentence, “hey, this’ll be funny.” But it sort of entered the zeitgeist as “generic techie font” for a long while.

Angelina Jolie was THE Female Hacker in the movie Hackers! (And the boy went on to play Holmes in the TV Series with a totally different look/feel) Do they count? (As real coders/hackers?)

"Coding" nowadays has become mostly web or mobile. As web has been around longer than mobile, it looks more familiar to most non-tech people.
