What, every developer? You really live in a bubble - get out and meet more.

Yeah, because there's absolutely no status signalling with Apple products.

Not all of them run OS X, but yep - the devices are reliable, last for a very long time and do the job well.

Most people I know with iPhones are just regular people. I used to be an Android user (and will never hate on it) but most Western tech people with them are like the poster above - smug with an unfounded sense of superiority.

Sure they are. At least the GP openly recognises that they might be projecting.
Not in my experience. At most .Net/Windows dev events I've been to Macbooks running windows are hardly uncommon.
That's reaching - you know full well I wasn't talking about distros like Ubuntu, hence the 'no one has heard of' part.

Projecting their l33tness, which literally no one cares about or wants to here. Simplicity is better, there is nothing inferior about something being simple.
On the contrary: I showed that the original author of the submission was projecting the main premesis of his article.
And I showed how subjective projection is absolutely meaningless at any scale above yourself, by sharing my own projection of the same thing.
Basically how this was an utter rubbish article.
I think it was quite successful and absolutely demonstrated my point beyond my wildest expectations.
