I Feel Targeted And Triggered By That Except I Would Never Buy A Mac
The brutal truth about tech bros and their spending priorities hits different when it's laid out like this. You'll drop $5k on a maxed-out MacBook Pro and another grand on a Herman Miller Aeron because "ergonomics" and "productivity," then rationalize it with spreadsheets showing cost-per-hour calculations over a 10-year lifespan. But that conference T-shirt from a startup that's been dead for half a decade? That's your daily uniform. The irony is chef's kiss—we optimize our tools to perfection while our wardrobe screams "I got dressed in the dark at a hackathon." The real kicker? Posted from an iPhone. The self-awareness is there, just not strong enough to actually change anything.

Never Stop Never Building
Conference attendee sitting at their desk surrounded by enough AI swag to start a small museum, staring at their screen with the weight of a thousand unfinished side projects. Behind them, the Product Manager and Engineering Director loom like disappointed parents. The walls are plastered with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and Hugging Face posters—basically a shrine to procrastination disguised as "staying current." The brutal truth: they don't want to actually build anything. They just need to check out the new LLMs. Because nothing says "productive engineer" like spending your entire week testing which AI model gives you the most creative excuse for not shipping features. The hype cycle chart in the background isn't just decoration—it's a lifestyle. That "Prompt Engineer" mug really ties the whole thing together. Chef's kiss.
