Aaah, the skinny hipster programmer sipping a latte is kind'o new. I recall sitting in a conference room with a bunch of programmers not to long ago and ~80% fit the description of the article. There were dudes sitting down the hallway with whom I chatted over IRC or IM more than I ever did in person. Sure the article may be a bit of a cliche, but that's for a reason.

I agree programmers now are arguably more "social", but then again a lot of the rest of the world now are probably more like what programmers used to be like, glued to a computing device.
