## Geek Code 4.0 – RFC
[GitHub Pages](https://pages.github.com/)
See V3.1 [Here](https://web.archive.org/web/20090220181018/http://geekcode.com/geek.html), generator [here](htps://www.joereiss.net/geek/geek.html)

The code consists of a set of alphanumeric identifiers indicating the various categories (and subcategories), and qualifiers + and – following the identifiers indicating amount/size/level of proficiency/etc. These qualifiers can be stacked, e.g s+++ indicates a person of extreme height (the s indicating size).
The broad categories encoded are: Wetware, Computers, Politics, Entertainment, Lifestyle. Most have subcategories; one can answer at any level of detail desired, thus eg. U++ indicates someone highly interested/proficient in Unix, while ULDU++ indicates someone into unix-linux-debian-ubuntu. Multiple subcategories can be indicated with a forward slash, e.g GH/C indicates a Geek of Humanities and Classics.
