The eternal battle of development environments! On the left, we have sleek iPads representing modern Apple hardware—thin, light, beautiful, and probably costs more than your monthly rent. On the right? A battle-hardened ThinkPad running Linux with terminal windows that look like they're decrypting the Matrix.

Plot twist: that ancient ThinkPad has survived three coffee spills, two office moves, and can compile kernel code while the iPad is still trying to figure out if it's a computer or a really expensive cutting board.

The real punchline? That 10-year-old ThinkPad with its mechanical keyboard and enough ports to connect to NASA is probably the one actually shipping production code. Those stickers aren't decoration—they're battle scars!
