I Get More Expensive Phones And Laptops Than My Siblings Because I "Program"

The classic programmer hustle - convincing parents that you need a $2000 MacBook Pro to "learn coding" when a $300 Chromebook would do just fine. But hey, those compilation times are critical for your "Hello World" programs, right? The endless cycle of requesting hardware upgrades is practically a rite of passage for young devs. Parents eventually catch on that you're mostly using that 32GB RAM to have 97 Chrome tabs open while occasionally tweaking CSS. But they love you anyway, bless their financially drained hearts.
