Self proclaimed geeks are often the least tech savvy. They just collect and consume they are passionate about their hobbies but they stay on the surface level. Unlike a nerd who deep dives into material and becomes a knowledgeable expert.

    A nerd is someone who buys all game consoles and a new phone every year.

    A geek is someone who owns more than 2 board games besides Catan and Uno.

    A hacker though, that's someone who can vibe code an app.

    To quote Merlin Mann:

    "A geek can fix your computer. A nerd can fix your computer, but first he's gonna talk to you about your computer first: 'ermm. You know you could be running any of several Linux distros on this...'"
