I saw a developer today.

+ No company swag hoodie.
+ No stickers on their laptop.
+ No mechanical keyboard.
+ No Windows or macOS.
+ He just sat there.
+ Typing away in vim IDE running on Arch Linux and older ThinkPad.

Like a psychopath.

@nixCraft Does it count if the stickers on my laptop are not corporate swag stickers?

@nixCraft

Some of us don't even use laptops

@nixCraft
Similar to me but my laptop is toshiba (this newer tho) and os is slackware not arch. Yes my lap is clean and i dont use peripherals
@nixCraft
And obviously they told you they run Arch ;)
As a Lubuntu Developer, it's hilarious how much this sounds like me. Different OS and hardware, but otherwise that's me.

@nixCraft you'd have to be a psychopath to rely on Arch to get any work done

@nixCraft Had a look in the mirror? :)
@nixCraft
Sounds like me, except i have a marauders map sticker on my laptop.
@nixCraft emacs + desktop + mechanical keyboard for me 😀
@nixCraft ...hey...was that me? How? 😂
@nixCraft
with Debian and Emacs, that would be me🥹
@nixCraft other than the stickers and age of my Thinkpad, I resemble that remark

@nixCraft

Vim IDE? Euw. Straight Vim is more than sufficient.

That said, but for the laptop I work from running Windows 11 (+WSL2 w/ Ubuntu) and not using an IDE, that list is pretty much me.

@nixCraft Well, then I guess I'm a 50% #psychopath 😉

In a company hoodie, have @sudoproject, #syslog_ng and #Turris stickers on my laptop. But no special keyboard, running @opensuse, coding in #joe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe%27s_Own_Editor 😃

@nixCraft aside from  and  that's basically me. 🤭
@nixCraft jeez, just @ me next time you decide to call me out
@nixCraft did you just walk by? I'm running #Debian, not #Arch. Good eye though. 😎
@nixCraft you won't understand. It's a different class. They people with sheer will & perseverance.

@nixCraft

That actually made me laugh out loud 😂

@nixCraft *looks in the mirror and nods* the Carbon X1 is new though and don't wanna trade it 🤣
@nixCraft Does black electrical tape count as a sticker?
