How do people see IT workers? Like generally, universally speaking? Close your eyes and imagine a developer in their thirties grappling with a program. Let’s call them A. First, try picturing A’s physique. Gangly limbs with no muscles to speak of, hunched back, text neck.
 사람들에게 IT 계열 종사자의 이미지란 어떤 걸까. 보편적이며 총체적인 인상 말이다. 눈을 감고 프로그램과 씨름 중인 삼십대 개발자의 모습을 한번 떠올려보자. 그를 그저 A라 불러도 무방하겠다. 우선 A의 골격을 그려보자. 근육이라고는 없는 팔다리, 굽은 등, 거북목.

如今的他,每日都担心着天空的崩塌和大地的坍圮,乃至茶饭不思,惶惶不可终日。

Before they die, / we see them more often,/ so warm / their hugs leave marks / on our clothes.
