Me: I need the perfect IDE setup, a triple-monitor battlestation, noise-cancelling headphones, RGB everywhere...
This guy: WiFi? Never heard of her.
Yeah I donāt know how people code without at least 2 monitors. Constantly switching tabs to copy ChatGptās code would get old fast
thats why cursor was invented! to allow thinkpad users to copy and paste chat gpt's perfect code! so efficient!
At this point Iām just the middleman between ChatGPT and the IDE. My cursor deserves equity.
You had me in the first half
Thatās the dev life arc.
Dev since 4 years. Never had a 2nd monitor. Always coded on my laptop, just alt tab everything lol
I don't love life enough.
Usually code in the middle lane.
Must be an Assembly dev
Probably, cause I have a house?
Makes one of us
My back is not that good
Wet :(
bugs
My third world country streets been so dangerous I can't even finish unzipping the backpack before the laptop is on someone else hands :(
My salary
He's in my coding spot
Nothing, that's me.
itās an emergency fix it now! but iām walkingā¦ i said now!
Procrastination
Common sense?

I donāt need to be that close to my exit plan.
My country and it's crazy fucking drivers I ain't safe walking on then you expect us to sit on then
Self-respect

One drop of rain and your laptop is donezo. I can on my porch, under a roof, all the time though

I don't own a laptop.

Vibing does not require a laptop.
I've been in standups with this guy. I think I he might be in a standup right now!
The fact that he is sitting is not lost on me.
i dont want to.
Not having a job
Bugs. I'm a bug magnet.
My back lasts even less than my battery
One of the reasons is my back would kill me after a few min
I live in a house
Bro vibin
My sciatica and arthritis.
Distracting traffic noises.
Looks like it's raining.
Blocking the path of people who are trying to use the sidewalk to actually get places
No fridge
No microwave
No toilet
No 32-inch screen
No full-size keyboard
No mouse pad
Flaky free insecure wifi
I'm not homeless
My back
I'm not trying to hack someones fridge through their unsecured wifi.
I don't live there
Dignity
Having clients that pay me on time.
Nothing.
I manage my money well..sadlyš
Getting shanked and robbed
I canāt even sit like that for more than 2 minutes
Having a H1B ?!
I have a house to vibe code
the battery :(
The glowies
First thing stopping me. Iām not homeless.
I may be unstable but Iām not THAT unstableĀ
Lack of employment š
I don't have a laptop
Brain
He either works for criminals, or is a criminal, or needs a hug and a kick in the butt to leave that job.
- raining
- laptop has ass battery life
Busses, trains, airplanes, all fine, including their waiting places.
Those stupid laptop keyboards, and that useless touchpad.
My laptop battery dead in 20-30 mins
So annoying, makes me crazy

M1 Pro is what you need
I don't earn rn, just learning and looking for internships/jobs. So I'll be happy with what my mum bought for me till I earn š¤
I don't wanna sound like that guy but imma be that guy, try switching over to any linux distros, it usually dramatically improves battery life and QoL, you can try dual booting and if you decide it isn't for you then you can just wipe it and move on. Personally I would suggest Nobara cuz it works outta the box and auto installs GPU drivers and shit with a single click but you can also choose one from here
'That guy' is good guy, thanks I was thinking about trying linux, thanks for the recs
However do be aware of the needs of your internships. Sometimes you have to test on windows machines specifically. Or have proprietary software that may or may not have support for linux. Most places, it will be fine but probably good to make and keep a windows bootable in case you need it.
Not necessarily
Win 11 with some new hardware outperform
See thinkpad x13 gen6
Hey man. I installed linux mint and im getting worse battery life . On windows its like 6-7 hrs avg . On linux its 2-3hrs at max . How can i improve it?
Try installing power profiles daemon if it's not already there, and try out different power profiles.
I have r7 5800H do u know some extremely low powered power profile? Cause in linux i just do coding, nothing else
Just use low power mode (but balanced should be on par with windows), you should also be able to edit the power profiles. Unfortunately, linux mint's DE (cinnamon) doesn't have any built in integration with it, so you'll have to use the terminal I think.
Nah. That's a lie. Linux makes your battery poop. Get a macbook, install utm on it, and spin up debian.
Thatās the spirit. I used my dell Inspiron 15 and before that n4110 first laptop , till I was able to buy mac m1 in college and then M1 Pro 32 gb speced out as I started my first job . Keep learning
Happy for you man, I'll reach there too, grind never stopsš¼
Great attitude. Keep it up š„
My work gave me an M3 and that thing stays powered for like 3 straight days
The best that i could afford is a 2010 laptop with a cracked screen off of eBay. Subscriptions to Claude max, chatgpt, cursor etc aren't cheap
A power bank is cheaper
If it's older, a battery replacement is sometimes not as expensive as newer models.
Gotta get you one of those m series Macs.Ā
20-30 minutes? Try 3.
Just open IntelliJ and watch my battery go critical
Look at this guy having a battery live long enough to boot Windows! I'm surprised mine gets past BIOS before it nopes out!
ryzenadj is easy to use on amd-powered laptops
