The tech world's political compass has arrived! It perfectly maps the eternal developer civil war across two axes: Freedom vs. Proprietary and Tradition vs. Disruption.
Top-left quadrant (Libredev): Home to the free software purists with their GNU/Linux laptops, Emacs, and C language. The kind of developers who write 5000-word emails about why you should call it "GNU plus Linux" instead of just "Linux."
Top-right quadrant (Cogdev): Corporate warriors wielding C#, Visual Studio, and Windows. These folks genuinely believe Microsoft's "embrace, extend, extinguish" was just a phase, like their teenage goth years.
Bottom-right quadrant (Sovdev): The Apple ecosystem disciples and JavaScript framework hoppers. They'll pay $3000 for a laptop with 8GB RAM and then tell you it's "optimized." Their GitHub profile is their entire personality.
Bottom-left quadrant (Hypedev): The bleeding-edge rebels running experimental tech stacks that will probably be abandoned next Tuesday. They've rewritten their personal website in 17 different frameworks this year alone.
Which quadrant are you in? Don't answer—your choice of text editor already told me everything I need to know.
