People who got into software development not because they enjoy working with computers, but rather because it pays well. Outside of work, they're the same as any other casual who's got a phone as their primary computing device.
- Anonyneko 11mo agoAlso people who now have other commitments, such as family, or became tired of computers over their career and don't want to fiddle with them outside of work anymore. I feel like an outlier in my office, even the nerdiest of my developer colleagues sold his PC in favor of Steam Deck and phones.

- Telaneo 11mo agoI feel the same way, but if you're a person who doesn't deal with files outside of work (photos are in the photo app, notes in the notes app), and don't deal with text beyond messaging and short notes, having those things be easier to work with is a bit like selling fridges northern Canada.
