Neo is about right -- until he finds out he's the One (although I still maintain that I can fly).
When we see him as a programmer he's:
1) Asleep at his desk, documentation, books, and a PDA strewn around him (A Newton!!). He's got a whole bunch of windows open on his screen (including some sort of prompt). He's got a stereo pumping out music to oversized headphones. And he's asleep on the keyboard. Sounds like me.
2) At work, he sits in a sterile cubicle and gets lectures by a boss who doesn't understand him. Sounds like me sometimes too.
