After sorting through more than 1,000 entries, discovering and disqualifying imposters, and literally duking it out with each other, we have selected the eleven (we couldn’t quit at ten) finalists in DailyCandy’s Get with the Programmer contest.

Peruse their profiles and vote by clicking the heart of the one who makes yours palpitate. Here’s a peek at a few of the nominees.

Name: Corey What his nominator says: His hair is flaming! What he says: I have some style that is lacked by most programmers. What we say: Look at those kind, soulful eyes.

Name: Chico What his nominator says: Half Asian, never Caucasian. What he says: My holy opinion makes me hot. What we say: He’s a prime specimen of hybrid vigor.

Name: Andrew What his nominator says: He’s a lover! What he says: I’m incredibly attentive and creative. What we say: Two words — Risky Business.
