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 don’t know how people code without at least 2 monitors. Constantly switching tabs to copy ChatGpt’s 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 I’m just the middleman between ChatGPT and the IDE. My cursor deserves equity.
You had me in the first half
That’s the dev life arc.
Dev since 4 years. Never had a 2nd monitor. Always coded on my laptop, just alt tab everything lol
Ok. Dont taste it, will coast you a lot 😅🤣😂
I don't love life enough.
Usually code in the middle lane.
Must be an Assembly dev
Have you tried becoming a furry?

My back is not that good
How about coding while lying on the ground then?
bugs
Wet :(
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.
I don’t need to be that close to my exit plan.

An insider joke for us Indians 😂
🤣🤣😂 lol good one
Procrastination
Common sense?
it’s an emergency fix it now! but i’m walking… i said now!

That crippy guy further along the walkway
I don't own a laptop.
Cat at home
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..sadly😝
Getting shanked and robbed
I can’t 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. I’m not homeless.
I may be unstable but I’m not THAT unstable
Lack of employment 😋
I don't have a laptop

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.
That pimp at the end of the street roughed me up good the last time I worked there.

This guy is oncall and received an alert about the DB falling over, so he. Can't wait to get to a comfortable spot to work on it and is forced to turn on tethering wifi on his cellphone and just suck it up in the middle of the sidewalk.
Common sense. I doubt he's even coding.
My back 👴
No footpath
my thinkpads new battery isnt here yet so I have all of five seconds of battery life
A chair
Rain and bad wifi
Imposter syndrome.
My lower back. A lot of other things too. But mostly it would be the low back pain.
A trace of self-respect, the laptop battery, a cold arse, diesel fumes, and probably a little bit of distraction of 600 billion mosquitos attracted to the screen.
More like an Ops guy, got paged with a high severity and has ro respond immediately.
Laptop battery dies when unplugged from the charger

Sanity
No one has to
It’s been a while since I had a “I figured it out and need to write it down right now” moment. Kinda miss that feeling
Those stupid laptop keyboards, and that useless touchpad.
I'm not in India...
My laptop battery dead in 20-30 mins
So annoying, makes me crazy

If it's older, a battery replacement is sometimes not as expensive as newer models.
about a year and a half ago i replaced my laptop's battery for around $90 and it was back to using a charger everywhere within a few months
been looking to switch to a newer apple product ever since
I do ThinkPad and they a: have a lot of after market spare parts, quality is a bit dubious, but it's dirt cheap, 2. Use a lot of cross compatible components and 3. Have extra large batteries. I will probably buy a larger battery and if it gives up on me, rip it open and replace the cells with new ones (hopefully of higher quality).
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 🤝
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.
This, have it dual boot, like I run Nobara for everything but every once in a blue moon I have to go to windows due to fucking Adobe but other than that windows is p much dead to me.
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.
Not necessarily
Win 11 with some new hardware outperform
See thinkpad x13 gen6
Outperform in what? Battery life? Has anyone tried installing a distro on the thinkpad x13 and comparing battery life? Gaming? most distros tend to give similar or better performance than windows today (praise lord GabeN).
Makes me think what would be the most battery efficient productive development environment. I assume it would be non GUI environment with Vim. While interpreted languages might need more power while running the application, they will save energy on compiling/building, so in some scenarios might be more efficient.
Nah. That's a lie. Linux makes your battery poop. Get a macbook, install utm on it, and spin up debian.
Idk how else to say it mate, that has just been my personal experience and the experience most of my friends irl whom I convinced to switch (we're in cs so it wasn't that hard) had with it. Better battery life, better dev environment etc etc, most of them switched completely or went dual boot. But in every single case their battery life went up not down and by a lotta hours. Like mine went from 1-2h on windows (powersaver) to 7-9h on Nobara (powersave cpu governer).
That’s 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 stops😼
Great attitude. Keep it up 🥂
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
20-30 minutes? Try 3.
Gotta get you one of those m series Macs.
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
I just want an ARM(or even RISC V with decent performance) laptop with replaceable memory! Ahhhhhh. I refuse to pay a ludicrous markup for more RAM. It's the principle!
