Honestly, /g/ is no small part of why I ended up in tech. In 2011 I was a bored econ student spending my nights working programming problems posted to /g/, trying to get gentoo to run on my macbook pro (eventually giving up and 'ricing' crunch bang so I could post pictures of my desktop..) and arguing about things I didn't understand.
It was a fun distraction, but eventually I outgrew it. I'm sure if I dug around I could find my old /g/ folder full of stupid tech memes.
