Soydev

   Sodevs are incompetent wanna-be programmers that usually have these
   characteristics:

     * Being [1]pseudoleftist (fascist) political activists pushing [2]tranny
       software and [3]COCs while actually being mainstream centrists in the
       tech world (advocating "[4]open-source" instead of [5]free_software,
       being okay with [6]proprietary software, [7]bloat etc.).
     * Trying to be "cool", having friends and even spouses and kids, wearing
       T-shirts with "[8]coding [9]jokes", having [10]tattoos, piercing and
       colored hair (also trimmed bear in case of males), having that ugly
       [11]snowflake (i.e. bizarre) kind of look to catch attention,
       [12]signaling virtues on social networks.
     * Only being hired in tech for a no-brainer job such as "coding
       websites" or because of diversity quotas.
     * Being actually bad at programming, using meme high-level languages
       like [13]JavaScript, [14]Python or [15]Rust. { I shit you not, I
       learned from a friend who lives in India that "universities" there
       produce "security experts" who don't even have to know any programming
       and math. They just learn some sysadmin stuff and installing
       antiviruses, without having any clue about how encryption works etc.
       These people get regular degrees. Really makes me wanna kys myself.
       ~drummyfish }
     * Using a [16]Mac.
     * Thinking they're experts in technology because they are familiar with
       the existence of [17]Linux (usually some mainstream distro such as
       [18]Ubuntu) and can type cd and ls in the terminal.
     * Having only shallow awareness of tech culture, telling big-bang-theory
       HTML jokes (sudo make sandwich, [19]42 hahahahahahaha).
     * Being highly active on social networks, probably having a pixel-art
       portrait of their ugly face and "personal pronouns" on their profile.
     * Believing in and engaging in [20]capitalism, believing corporations
       such as [21]Microsoft, wanting to create "startups", being obsessed
       with [22]productivity, inspirational quotes and masturbating to tech
       "visionaries" like [23]Steve Jobs. The "rebels" among these are
       advocating [24]FOSS, however they always promote huge [25]bloat and
       de-facto [26]capitalist software which is no different from
       proprietary software.
     * Using buzzwords like "solution", "orchestration" etc.
     * ...

   Here is a quick rough comparison of seydevs and actual good programmers
   (nowadays mostly an extinct species):
