That's a gamer, not a software engineer

I mean, I do have RGB lights but it's not because I'm a software engineer. I'm just a dork.

Lol thank you for making that, I had that meme in mind while I was writing that reply.

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 19 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I specifically built my computer to have as much RGB as possible. Also because I'm a dork.

I am a software engineer and I also have a PC with RGB vomit. But not because I'm a software engineer. Because I'm also a dork, and the icy blue color keeps my cpu cold.

I switch to red when I'm gaming for the extra power.

[–] Restaldt@lemm.ee 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

My computer is lit up orange except for the cpu cooler. Those lights are set to blue for better cooling

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

It makes sense to target your colors for granular performance increases in different areas.

[–] spongebue@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, as a software engineer I have 3 monitors if you include the one built into my laptop

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

I have 4 if you count the TV in my lounge I can connect to via AirPlay.

[–] EliasChao@lemmy.one 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

What about my phone’s display, does that count as well?

[–] jadero@programming.dev 1 points 7 months ago

Why not? The last decade before semi-retirement I had all the different ways to get in touch with me restricted to my phone. My work computer had no email client, no messengers, nothing. I even helped lead the charge to eliminate desk phones.

That little display may have been the single greatest priductivity booster ever. It stayed on a shelf across the room on do not disturb. The only people allowed past the DnD were my wife and my son. If there really was a work emergency, a manager or coworker knew where to find me to tap me on the shoulder.

I’m a software engineer and while I do have 2 monitors I have absolutely no RGB anything. Just a nice clean setup. My main monitor is on a wall-mounted arm so it appears to just float above my desk. My MacBook is hidden behind the other monitor, which is in portrait and on an arm so it floats just above my desk. Wireless mouse and keyboard (magic mouse and magic keyboard with numeric, both in black/aluminium), no visible wires. One single thunderbolt cable to connect my MacBook to a dock that’s hidden below my desk, which hooks up to my monitors, ethernet, amplifier, etc.
