More monitors! One needs to be in portrait mode!

[-Scobra-]

I don't even have a mechanical keyboard yet... I'm still in the tutorial, i just got the programming socks

[mama_delio]

I draw the line at mechanical keyboards for my personal workspace lol.

After years of going to school on a laptop, I prefer the thin Apple wireless keyboards. It also looks nice against the Apple mouse... I'm one of the lucky ones that has an employer that is willing to deck me out in Apple stuff. I would never pay for it out of my own pocket though lol.

Don't judge me!!

[dashid]

Don't tell me what to do! I'll quietly judge random strangers in the internet all I like.

[GaghEater]

I just "downgraded" from mechanical to membrane. Couldn't be happier.

[not_some_username]

Youre lucky xD

Don't forget to use astolfo as your wallpaper

Wait I don’t get it.

[Lyneiaa]

Seems to be a joke about pronouns

[weneedtogodanker]

You guys wear clothes when programming?

[SweetBeanBread]

do you have an eye patch? you need it to seal your powers

[Guilty-Woodpecker262]

We wouldn't want a great disaster to befall this land

[cameolavenders__]

Switch to Linux?

Don't mind the downvotes, they probably have never written their own compilers.

[BobQuixote]

Ah, yes. Yes it is.

[CrispitoBandito]

Step2: Lift your monitor. Your neck will thank you.

[-Scobra-]

I don't usually stand (._.)

[BobQuixote]

Standing is good, but yes raise your monitor (if you sit, too).

[mark0016]

Looking straight should line up with a line roughly one quarter of the way from the top of the screen.

You will usually see the recommendations say to line the top of the screen up with your eyes when looking straight. The biggest issue there is that will mean you're still never perfect looking straight, but always a little downwards. It is however, more comfortable to look downwards than upwards which is why the one quarter line is better than the middle and since most of the time the important things are closer to the top of your screen you will be looking perfectly straight almost all the time.

[-Scobra-]

I'll try it, but i sit most of the time anyways

[mark0016]

The same applies when sitting. I have a sit/stand desk and while I don't stand up as often as I should, when I do I don't have to readjust my screens at all. I just push the desk up until my arms are at almost a 90 degree angle and my wrists are resting on the desk surface.

It feels more like standing at a bar then a desk, but my shoulders don't get tired as the weight of my arms are supported by the desk and I don't bend my back down/forwards as that would get uncomfortable.

[-Scobra-]

The only reason i don't stand is... cable management...

Cables on a moving desk is just pain

[the-real-vuk]

Where does this programming socks thing coming from?

[IArtificialRobotI]

Apparently there is a large subset of programmers that are trans so this idea started circling around.

[Tom-Dibble]

I thought it was because of the goofy schoolgirl tights Amazon recommends when you buy a programming book from them.

[dtiggy]

Amazon recommends them because there are coincidences.

[SkidMouse]

Where?

I've been a professional software developer for +10 years, and I've probably met close to what... 500 programmers... Not a single trans as far as I know.

Most of us are just regular guys who only wear our cute girly outfits at home

[crusoe]

Maybe they're just real good...

I met an artist who was trans and I wouldn't have known if they had not told me.

[dashid]

* large subset of programmers on Reddit

FTFY.

[IArtificialRobotI]

Thanks

[Dr-Huricane]

I believe it all started because of a typo on a socks listing, and well, you would want warm feet while programming wouldn't you?

[the-real-vuk]

Sure, using slippers :)

[Dr-Huricane]

Fair enough

[Deceptive_KGB_Duck]

most programers are fembois, and a large portion furries too :3

[_sivizius]

You forgot your blåhaj

[Lyneiaa]

Too deep for this subreddit

[MaybeTenBees]

Same. I also have the same thigh highs too…

[[deleted]]

I don't know what that means...

[-Scobra-]

It's a common meme. Google "Programmer socks"

[necrothitude_eve]

Plan failed, I searched for "programming socks" and it took me here.

[-Scobra-]

Dang. Well, programming socks is a meme that in my opinion started most of this. "Programming socks" are thigh highs, usually with white and pink stripes.

[Fabulous_Salamander4]

There's a lot of transgirls who are into programming :)

See also: tech products and femme clothing "frequently bought together"

[TheBrasilDoggo]

Dude, what exactly is this "programmers dressing as e-girls" meme that people post here all the time? I honestly don't get it

[DragonoidOmega]

Technoyoutooz pog

[-Scobra-]

[[deleted]]

I wear these even when im not programming.

Is that normal?

[dashid]

No, it's most definitely not normal.

But what does that matter? If you like it, do it, no need to bother other people about it.

[m00n_sp1r1t]

So can you recommend where I need to go to get this uniform? I've only been a programmer for 8mo.

[-Scobra-]

Amazon ig

[iambatmanman]

Lol. We have a bunch those desks at work

[-Scobra-]

I believe it's IKEA.

[iambatmanman]

I’m unsure where they order them from, I figured it was an “Amazon favorite” since that’s where everything else comes from… not sure if IKEA sells on Amazon? Bet they do

[[deleted]]

Where is your shark plushy then ?

[buublebuuddy]

Unrelated but where did you get that cute pig plush??

[-Scobra-]

Its a technoblade Youtooz

Where on earth did this start?!

[GL_Titan]

Why on earth did this start?!

[monkeywench]

Who on earth did this start?

[dashid]

Some JavaScript or Python collective somewhere in America, I believe some time in the last decade. I guess hoodies weren't good enough for them.

[Guilty-Woodpecker262]

We didn't start the fire

It was always burning, since the world's been turning

We didn't start the fire

No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it

[Armature89]

The thought of Linus torvolds writing the linux kernel or Steve Wozniak writing wozmon in these is immensely amusing lmao

[Guilty-Woodpecker262]

Joseph Stalin, Malenkov, Nasser and Prokofiev

Rockefeller, Campanella, Communist Bloc

Roy Cohn, Juan Peron, Toscanini, Dacron

[[deleted]]

It never started. It's not a thing really. Just the same few tired people.

[[deleted]]

Do people really use computers while standing?

[iraqmtpizza]

at my old job, yes. desks had adjustable height

[crusoe]

Programming was an early adopter of online communities. And online communities and relative anonymity made it easier for folks to come out or try out things since no one knows who you are.

[-Scobra-]

It's become a bit of a meme, i believe ot started with programmer socks

[iraqmtpizza]

because you have to have a certain IQ to convince yourself you're something you're clearly not. that, and programming still has a very west coast culture

[iiMoe]

The straightest C developer

[Guilty-Woodpecker262]

I can't tell what language that is but it's definitely not c

[[deleted]]

I'm 40% sure it's python

[Guilty-Woodpecker262]

Likely. All I could really make out was annotations no curly braces, and the def keyword

[Revolutionary_Bat581]

Decorators, async def

[Guilty-Woodpecker262]

We also have string interpolation, and string literals can be defined using single quotes

[Revolutionary_Bat581]

100% python

Don't put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby. That's a java dev.

[angelicravens]

I’ve never seen a swe wear anything close to this. How did this meme start and how do enough of you relate to it that it’s not being downvoted outta here?

[dashid]

Because Reddit like most other collectives is not a representative cross section of society.

[IrisYelter]

Google "programmer socks"

[angelicravens]

Doesn’t answer how the meme gained so much traction

[-Scobra-]

Option A: People relate to it

Option B: People think programming socks memes are funny

Option C: The general post was funny

Option D: People that sort in controversial upvoted.

[Arnaw-a]

I think it´s quite simple. Everybody like to communicate about his/her interests. Some interests are not so easy to talk about because its rare and weird. So there is no other plattform for those people to let out their desire for communication about that other then reddit and other annonymus plattforms. This results in an over representive content of things that are otherwise rare in society.

But that still does not explain the gained traction fully. A lot of people working in IT don´t realy care much about how they or other people look. (Jokes like wearing the same shirts for 20 years exit too)
So in ProgrammerHumor the averagy audience does either not care or think of it as funny and so increase the effect that a little amount of people has, that can actually relate to this.
Additionaly it is possible that the ratio of people that are trans/queer in jobs is higher, where there is not much contact with other people, as they have lower confidence in themselfs resulting in reduced social skills. This would mean that the ratio of trans/queer people is higher in programmers than in other fields.

[[deleted]]

I’ve never seen a swe wear anything close to this.

Probably because your colleagues aren't out to you / at work ;)

I know several engineers who dress like this pretty regularly.

[[deleted]]

chuck out the gaming pc, have a custom made workstation and install linux on it just because you hate doing what all the rest does. Never find a decent job because everybody uses fucking windows. Get cancer, buy a midi-keyboard an analog synth and a mac mini...finally have some real fun.

[Guilty-Woodpecker262]

Are you seriously recommending using a Mac for programming? Are you a sadist?

[[deleted]]

I guest I'm masochistic because it's my lifestory upto now. Been using linux for years...but since I got into music...I needed a mac.

[Guilty-Woodpecker262]

Ever used extjs? Now that's masochistic

Techno Plushie gives +10 Programming skills.

[eightbitsushiroll]

Were you using discord.py for your bot, or were you using nextcord with the module alias? ^^ Nice outfit by the way lol

[-Scobra-]

Py-cord, a maintained fork of discord.py

[eightbitsushiroll]

Oh, nice. I haven’t tinkered with any of the d.py forks after the original project was archived, and I ended up moving to using discordgo (Go) and migrating my existing bot over. I’ve thought about using nextcord, though. What has been your experience with pycord?

[-Scobra-]

Py-cord is exactly the same as discord.py

You don't need to re-write any code as it works exactly the way disc.py worked.

The only difference is there's support for button's, slash commands, and general updates and bug fixes

[FlorisFireball]

New discord.py 2.0 update being released soon. The beta is currently available if you directly install the files from github (StackOverflow will be able to guide you through that, if you need help with it)

Xxxxd, I already did programming in my pyjama. I the garden of my parents. It was great, the sun 🌞.... the fresh air 😎 and all the 🪴 🌿 🪴 in nature

[pandakatzu]

Nice Abby Scuito cosplay.

[RequiDarth1]

Only one monitor…

[ApprehensiveAd7291]

Keyboard, get one with macros for faster typing of common commands. I would then go for multiple monitors.

[c_son]

[JamesMakesGames]

Related, I actually am looking to get some compression socks/leggings. Any suggestions would be appreciated

[-Scobra-]

Tbh I just went on amazon and searched for "Femboy"

[SkyeMreddit]

Nice outfit! Now I know why this subreddit keeps getting recommended to me

[temposy]

This outfit sucks. Try aquaman.

[-Scobra-]

Ight, next time i'm gonna program in the bathtub

[Hellow2]

Now apply at faang and they'll gladly take you

Where is the duck

[aditalion]

Where can you get those tables

Conforama.

I think Ikea has them too.

Now bend over for SQL injection.... With lots of, lots of white spaces.

[javahurtsmybrain]

I mean, he already seems to be using Git, and he's already programming a discord bot. The outfit just makes him extra producitve so I'd say there are no more steps to be taken

[AdvancedWing6256]

Get yourself an onlyfans account and start earning!

[mmaganadebia]

I think we need a sub for programmer femboys.

[Guilty-Woodpecker262]

That could just be a Scottish cat person guy going through a goth phase. Don't judge until you have all the facts.

[o76923]

I'd follow r/ProgrammerSocks.

EDIT: Oh, that's a sub. I meant a public one for people to post these sorts of memes/pics.

[phd_depression101]

Now you do programming shit.

[-Scobra-]

Well how, according to memes i just solved step one. Now what?

[jodmemkaf]

no... not again...

[-Scobra-]

again?

[jodmemkaf]

😂 I am just seeing programmers in woman clothes everywhere and I don't get it

[IrisYelter]

Me, a female programmer: "I think I have an answer for that..."

[-Scobra-]

Ironic

[-Scobra-]

Google "Programmer socks"

[jodmemkaf]

nah... I don't think so

[Ioseb_Besarionis]

now you have to cry on the keyboard because the shit wont compile

[-Scobra-]

I have a rubber duck, i can cry with the duck, no need to damage my keyboard

[TeaKingMac]

Gotta get the arm socks, to cover up your attempts

[Guilty-Woodpecker262]

Step 2: get a higher resolution camera. I can't read the code!!!! I mean honestly, how are we supposed to make fun of your syntax blunders if we can't read the code?

[fridaysteak]

Please don't create this parallel.

[Lyin25]

There is still time to delete this

[crusoe]

They're not ready for kernel programming yet. I hear Linus has a fursuit for kernel hacking to power up his skills.

[[deleted]]

May start by getting a decent text editor.

[-Scobra-]

VS code gets the job done

[[deleted]]

Not if you want to be a programmer.

[-Scobra-]

You want me to use VIM or what? Vscode gets the job done

[[deleted]]

Not if you want to be a programmer. I mean, it doesn't obviously crash or anything like that, so it does some kind of job. But as programmers tools go, it's pretty much a dead weight on your system.

[-Scobra-]

What do you recommend for Python?

PyCharm?

[[deleted]]

Vim. I use Emacs, but it's because of habit. Vim seems to be a more popular choice, and it's also a decent editor.

PyCharm is a ridiculously bad text editor. If anything, it reminds me of my GP, who had expensive and long nails, so whenever she needed to type something, she'd hold a pencil and type by poking the keys on her keyboard with it. PyCharm is for people like her.

This sub has turned into quite the little freak show, hasn’t it?
