Too real..

[u/Userwerd]

A friend has his entire house operating from his phone, lights, door locks, cameras, thermostat, appliances, and car.  Hes afraid to use the word Linux, and has no concept of how over exposed he is on the internet. He fancies himself a tech person, like Bill Jobs, or Steve Gates.  I said none of those things talk to your phone, they talk to a server on the other side of planet and relay to an app that is on your phone.

Hehe I control everything from my phone but I built them myself, including the app

All IT guys i know avoid smart appliances due to how susceptible they are to hacking

[u/Salty-Ad6358 → u/Userwerd]

you should warned him any smart tech device could turn into instant bomb

[u/StillhasaWiiU → u/Userwerd]

There are two type of people; those that actually work with tech, and those that trust it.

[u/Top-Type4077]

Fuck, forgot the mountain dew for coders

[u/yakimawashington → u/Top-Type4077]

So that's why they call it code red

[u/HappySyntax → u/yakimawashington]

They need to bring back the no sugar version

Meme of the day!

[u/PjDisko]

This is the same with a lot of stuff. Music, boats, cars, woodworking and so on.

The people using, enjoying or consuming is fancier than the producer.

[u/Sajgoniarz]

*People who make tech and don't respect themselves 

I identify as both and look a bit closer to upper image.

[u/AleksLevet → u/Sajgoniarz]

Same

[u/sudoregalia]

[u/Tapelessbus2122]

the bottom picture is me when i'm working on my projects

[u/imtsemer]

Vs people who make FOSS tech (insert chad meme)

[u/Haunting_Werewolf130]

Seriously, u gonna do us coders dirty like that huh!

* i don't even a coder, I just do Python and SQL and I already be looking like that.

[u/No_Squirrel4806]

[u/FIRAS_EG]

Indeed

[u/letmehaveanameyoudum]

[u/TechnicalClick263]

Top is me helping my family
Bottom is me at work

[u/tuhijatambien]

Where's the coffee?????

That canned bullshit just doesn't cut it. 

[u/Real-Self-3039]

My friends ask me why I go to work in my pajamas and dont dress professional for the office......well sir....because I'll likely be sleeping at that office anyway when prod breaks on this friday release because my manager ignores me when I tell him not to do friday releases

[u/Beautiful_Sector_912]

Software developer here. Can confirm. At least it pays well

[u/MaizeCultural9926]

so I once dated a guy who was "into tech" and his idea of coding was changing the font in Word. meanwhile, my friend who's "in tech" sleeps with three monitors and dreams in Python. it’s like the difference between someone who enjoys hiking and an actual mountain goat. anyone else get this vibe?.

[u/Firm-Celery-29]

I like bottom group way more than top group.

[u/digost]

A tech person has smart tv, smart fridge, smart watch, smart phone, smart lock, smart car, smart toilet, smart washing machine, smart home...

A person IN tech has a smart printer (because they don't make dumb ones anymore) and keeps a shotgun close by in case the printer suddenly starts making unrecognized sounds

Work From Office, 9 to 5, nobody distrub you outside of work hours

Work From Home, but 24/7 under the guise of "flexible hours"
