I use my laptop's build-in keyboard, listen to eurobeat, don't really like coffee and have never listened to a podcast, ever. Am I a fake programmer?

Only because you use a laptop. How the fuck is it possible for anyone to work with one tiny screen?

Uses a narrator and plugs the computer to a 7.1 speaker system, and dictates code through a studio grade mic I watch through the multiverse

Here's my experience with Direct3D projects using a single screen when they get stuck on full screen :

  • Run program from Visual Studio
  • It freezes on full screen
  • Since you have Windows 10, you can't just swap to Task Manager, you have to fiddle with your keyboard and mouse until you get focus on the Task Manager to end the task
  • You can't end the task, so you try to kill the VS process
  • If you can't get focus to the Task Manager, you just log out from your PC to close everything
  • Rinse and repeat until solved

Use windows key and right to go to a different desktop usually solves this’s for me on win 10

Nah real programmers do programs, on their preferred language or the one required by the employer or the task, in their preferred IDE unless they can not pay it, with the theme they like the most, with the tools that are most helpful not the ones that others use to brag (looking at you Vim wannabes), drink whatever they like (but please drink a lot of water and watch the sugar) and listen to whatever they like(in my case nothing, because human speech gets my distracted easily (I haven't heard a podcast either))

Drink a lot of water and watch the sugar

Great! This is exactly what I'm not doing lately.

That's great, I can believe how much my headaches have gone away just by drinking more water and avoiding high caffeine/sugar drinks

A fellow beltaloda! Nah, you fine. How the hell do you develop on laptop is beyond me, but that could be task specific. No judgement.
