Somewhat tangentially related, but it's been bugging me for a while -- is every brogrammer in America really this ridiculously attractive, or are hackers using model "stunt doubles"? One wouldn't expect GitHub to be full of gorgeous male models who happen to sit in perfect coffee shop lighting while laughing in an almost robotic perfection, but here we are ! (The stock photos on the site made me think of it, haha.)

Those of us that aren't model-grade attractive don't post photos.

Oh, and also not a brogrammer, so... maybe this doesn't apply to me.

I've noticed a rise in cartoonified hacker portraits as well, which is a stylistic alternative.

I'm curious if the Carlos mentioned in the More Info page (www.blacktie.co/info/) is the same Carlos mentioned in the bio of the Small theme. If so, I think we've discovered the bald, beer drinking designer behind the stock photo model.

Maybe people just put time into their appearance? It's amazing how far a good diet, good sleep, exercise, and some grooming can go.

Impossible.

> It's amazing how far a good diet, good sleep, exercise, and some grooming can do.

It's a slippery slope, though. You start with that crap and, before you know it, you're doing flat-out irrational things like getting dressed and brushing your teeth. I shudder at the thought!
