Tech holy wars Memes

The holy war of operating systems, visualized as an IQ bell curve. The average devs (middle of the curve) are crying about needing Linux for coding. Meanwhile, both the "too simple to know better" folks and the enlightened geniuses have transcended the debate entirely—one thinks OS doesn't matter, and the other has ascended to some mythical "Temple OS" plane of existence. It's the perfect illustration of programming tribalism. After 15 years in the industry, I've watched countless junior devs have existential meltdowns over OS choice while the seniors just use whatever gets the job done. And then there's that one architect who built their own custom Gentoo setup that nobody else can comprehend.

The holy war of operating systems continues unabated. First, we've got Winnie the Pooh showing his progression from "meh" about Windows to sophisticated gentleman for Linux, then suddenly turning feral for macOS. Then the second image delivers the punchline - the bell curve of intelligence showing that both the lowest and highest IQ developers prefer Mac for its "user-friendliness," while the average devs in the middle are divided between Windows zealots preaching "freedom and compatibility" and Linux users who don't even need to justify their superiority complex. After 15 years in this industry, I've realized we're all just chimps with keyboards arguing about which banana tastes better while our IDEs crash regardless of platform.
