Honestly do this all the time to impress girls with my programming finesse, and it works practically every time.
How about you guys, though? Anyone else do it? Post your success stories.

Is it because of my Thinkpad?

Nah, probably becuase of you MLP t-shirt and anime body pillow.

i open the terminal whenever i want to diagnose a normy's PC and not a single one of them gave any weird remarks, they were just sitting there and i was having a normal conversation while fixing their shit.

I've seen this thread before. Word for word...
>>62053109
that looks like Buenos Aires
>>62053109
only an autist would think anyone is even minimally impressed by your coding.
Now if you were using Vim, on the other hand...
>>62053879
on /g/? righttt
leykis is the authentic redpill on women and feminism. The shit anti-feminists are spouting on /b/ and /pol/ these days is such victim mentality bullshit.

Impossible

h-haha yeah i know so many people i have lots of friends
>>62053913
Because they kinda expected you to be some sort of computer wizard, therefore no weird looks were given.
If someone from /g/ pretends to be a normie and accidentally reveals his multi-boot options or God forbid, actually boots to anything other than Windows/macOS, expect to be called a computer geek, nolifer or that Pajeet from Mr. Robot show.
>>62054061
you hang out around some very terrible people anon. either that or your posture, way you dress, talk, etc screams with autism.

I now have more than 1300 hours just playing online with that guy on only 3 maps. Also like 500 hours on a single anno 2070 map. Very relaxing.

im confused
You were a working as a barista?
If not, why are they commenting about you? Did you have something cool to illustrate your work prowess? or are you telling me they were commenting on your IDE?
>>62053196
nope. there are two kinds of laptops.. Regular ones and Macs.
A 2000$ thinkpad looks just like a 300$ Acer to normies.
So it must be you anon. Time to go to /fa/ and /fit/
>>62054779
Not a barista. They noticed that I ignored her and proceeded to bash on me for programming in general, I guess.
>>62053913
Had it happen to me years ago. Was compiling something or other while in physics class.
>girl behind me: "are you hacking???"
>>62054016
it's true
all programmer jobs are straight nepotism
>>62053390
>using sublime
>using a """""professional""""" editor in terminal only

She earns her job on her knees. Fuck'em.

Nah, not really. I was literally a guy off the street when I was hired. I've had jobs throughout the states as well and I've only encountered that once over 10 years. It seems like it depends on the industry you work in. Advertising/Marketing is like that, from what I know but the majority of the real world still actually goes by skill.
>>62053913
Not even a program we were suppose have our book out so mine was in my thinkpad, so i decided to update
>Anon you a hacker
Words moving on a screen make you a cracker man
>>62053872
But what if I have programming? Will that make me a better autist?
>>62053872
Wtf, I'm going to take some vaccines right now!

You should really start linting for these very reasons.
>>62055823
He was a senior programmer. He probably thought something like "Jesus Christ, this is the kind of prick they want to substitute me. Fucking JavaScript kids."
>>62053940
TONIGHT
>>62055872
linting?
>>62055941
I was going to give you a link, but why? No wonder he looked at you in disgust.
>>62055941
It's what smart programmers do instead of using vim for everything.
>>62056523
vim has lint
:^)
>>62056541
It's not very good.
