Laptop Stickers Are Prison Tattoos

Laptop stickers are the coder equivalent of prison tattoos.

A screenshot of a tweet says that laptop stickers are the coder equivalent of prison tattoos. The joke compares programmers’ sticker collections to prison tattoos, implying that each sticker signals identity, experience, or subcultural affiliation. It can be sent as a reaction to heavily decorated laptops or programmer stereotypes.
