The Fastest Developer Ever

During my Amazon internship, I got Linux and i3 pilled really hard. 2 years later at my first real job, my manager used a Mac with all apps full screen. Just CMD+tab’d through it all. Fastest dev I’d ever seen. Since then, I dropped all the fancy shit. I’m much faster now i don't need any fancy window managers. i'll cmd + tab everything

A dark-mode social media screenshot tells a joke about a programmer who became obsessed with Linux and the i3 tiling window manager, only to discover that a Mac user switching between full-screen apps with Command-Tab was even faster. The punchline mocks overengineering and the habit of equating sophisticated tools with productivity; it is shared as a reaction to elaborate developer setups and minimalist workflows.
