Show off your stickers!

#discuss #stickers

Stickers (or your lack of stickers!) can say a lot about your personality and interests as a developer!

Here's my primary laptop:

Bonus! Here's the bottom:

Also, while you're going through the effort of photographing your computer, you can also send it to devlids!

Looks like the heroes are fixing their gaze on the, JS DEV sticker, with the facial expression of, "Need more backup!".

Just so I’m clear, laptop stickers are the tech equivalent of prison tattoos right?

Danny Perez • Dec 1 '18

LOL @ Saturday the 14th. Took me a minute to get it.

Alex Mourer • Dec 1 '18

Ha. It's a reminder to enjoy time off after putting in a hard day's work.

Brian Hoots • Jul 29 '19

Haha it reminds me of Robot Chicken's Friday the 13th skit!

maxdevjs • Dec 2 '18

Nice... How's the ThinkPad?

Alex Mourer • Dec 2 '18

I like it. It's not a top tier machine but it's solid. No complaints.

Forest Hoffman • Jun 13 '19 • Edited on Jun 14

😂 I eventually did! Liquid error: internal

jess unrein • Nov 30 '18

I just started a new job in September so my sticker game is not quite there yet. Waiting on my dev.to membership stickers to help round it out :)

Ali Spittel • Nov 30 '18

Nice! These are awesome! I have the OSMI one too!

jess unrein • Nov 30 '18

Ed is great! I've gotten to see him speak three times now and I just love the work he does with OSMI.

Ben Halpern • Nov 30 '18 • Edited on Nov 30

I love the central focal-point 😭

jess unrein • Nov 30 '18

I also have a fridge magnet of the custom :cry-blood: emoji. It's one of my favs.

Helen Anderson • Dec 1 '18

Just one :)

yucer • Dec 1 '18

Sometimes simplicity makes the greatest masterpiece.

I like that also in code.

Angela Whisnant • Jun 13 '19

Cool! How do we get the Dev sticker and the GitHub stickers?

Helen Anderson • Jun 13 '19

In the Dev shop :)

ooo posted on Twitter but just saw this post! This is a Dell XPS 15 that my daughter poored a whole cup of coffee on and it still works!

oh hi mark 👋 • Dec 1 '19

That’s why you shouldn’t let your daughter drink coffee ;) 😉😏

Thomas H Jones II • Dec 1 '18 • Edited on Dec 1

I always tell people, "I'm not a real IT person: I don't put stickers on my laptop." That said:

I've never put bumperstickers on my cars
My boss used to yell at me because my cube was so barren that the building's seat-nazi was threatening to reclaim my desk because she thought it was unoccupied
my wife considered it a great victory when I allowed her to buy a painting to put on our otherwise bare walls
I chose my Android's homescreen/launcher because it allowed me to tuck all of my app-icons into drawers
I get genuinely annoyed when people leave icons scattered around a desktop.

Probably some other examples of my spartan aesthetic I could point to. :p

Beautus S Gumede • Dec 2 '18

Hey, I hope this doesn't appear as spam but would you please review my app thats on Google play. Its my side project, I'm currently using it personally. But I feel it's not battle tested enough. I picked your comment because I related to some points you mentioned

Sung M. Kim • Nov 30 '18 • Edited on Nov 30

The devlids link seem to be broken...

Below image shows my laptop, a notebook & kindle

Ali Spittel • Nov 30 '18

Oops, fixed, thanks! These are awesome! Love the unicorn!

Sung M. Kim • Nov 30 '18

Thanks~

Mihail Malo • Dec 5 '18 • Edited on Jul 16

The closest thing to a sticker would be this one on the speaker:

Also pictured:

sheet from adhesive feet for Schiit Modi 2U
a single adhesive foot from a D-Link DCS-5### series camera that fell off in 2008
smooth but poorly-attached brownish sticker of unknown origin
2x EZY4613 SXF-ATH boarding pass stub from 10JUL (year unknown)

Other "stickers":

A Czech chicken baguette, from Poland:

Quality assurance tests from my last two APC UPSs, attached with original tape to the inside of a wardrobe:

Roman Veselý • Jul 16 '19

Chicken strips baguette sticker is not in Polish, but in Czech 😆🥖

Mihail Malo • Jul 16 '19

Shid, you're right!
But I procured it in Poland.

Going to their site, PL is the second language in their picker, after CZ.

Mihail Malo • Dec 5 '18

@giorgosk is this why you followed me? :O

Giorgos Kontopoulos 👀 • Dec 5 '18 • Edited on Dec 5

that too !!! ;-)
what does the sticker say ?

Mihail Malo • Dec 5 '18

Which one?

Giorgos Kontopoulos 👀 • Dec 5 '18

The baggage claim sticker ? (green white on the speakers)

Mihail Malo • Dec 5 '18

Edited for completeness.

Giorgos Kontopoulos 👀 • Dec 6 '18

Lynne Finnigan • Nov 30 '18 • Edited on Nov 30

I love the rainbow github one! Here's mine, I plan to add more:

It's dangerous to go alone

Thomas Philippot • Apr 19 '19

really love that triforce logo !

David J Eddy • Nov 30 '18

Though I use a desktop, Mac Pro, and another work notebook. Non have stickers on them. I like the clean OEM look. #callmeoldfashioned

Daniel Lo Nigro • Dec 1 '18

Here's mine!

I'm upgrading to a newer laptop soon though, so I'm going to have to either lose the stickers, or work out how to remove them and re-stick them on the new laptop.

Meg Gutshall • Dec 5 '18

Kitty!

Jan Hohner • Nov 30 '18

I've been working on mine since September - mostly stickers from MozFest, looking forward to the ones I'll get from Hacktoberfest and Microsoft🎉

Ali Spittel • Nov 30 '18

Nice!! The space one is great!!

Jan Hohner • Nov 30 '18

That one comes courtesy of @poshaugnessy@twitter.com and @diekus@twitter.com from Samsung Internet :)

One of my favourites is the bottom right - Mozilla Science's Science Fox

Viliam • Dec 2 '18

Shalvah • Dec 2 '18

Not a sticker person, but this is cool.

Antonio Radovcic • Nov 30 '18

Thanks for the shoutout!!!

Here's my latest iteration, with fresh stickers from React Day Berlin.

Jesse M. Holmes • Nov 30 '18

Love that Ben Folds sticker!

Brian Greig • Dec 2 '18

That ben folds sticker though.

Ali Spittel • Nov 30 '18

Oh! Love the layout!

Jamie • Dec 1 '18

My current devlid, sitting next to my current reading list.

I've also already seen one of my two stickers (two of them on this lid are for different podcasts of mine) on other lids in the comments.

Ali Spittel • Dec 1 '18

Jamie, you're too cool. That's awesome!

Nick Taylor (he/him) • Nov 30 '18

Ali Spittel • Nov 30 '18

Nice! Great variety!

Kyle Boe • Nov 30 '18 • Edited on Nov 30

Excited to add the DEV stickers to the collection!

Matt Miller (he/him) • Dec 1 '18

Love all the Thoughtbot podcasts!

benji • Dec 1 '18

Lonely sticker. Definitely need to get more.

And the bottom:

Priyansh Jain • Dec 1 '18

Aperture, fantastic

jmc • May 1 '19

Only have the one.

But this thread is making me want to go heavier. I'd love to come across stickers of the old-school PLT Scheme logo...

Stacy Montemayor • Dec 1 '18

I'm pretty minimal, but I like that they're both handmade - the catrina is hand-painted/inked!

Ali Spittel • Dec 1 '18

Woah! That is so cool!

Stacy Montemayor • Dec 1 '18

Thanks! There's another handmade sticker forthcoming, but I have to earn it first 😸

Mark Nicol • Dec 1 '18 • Edited on Dec 1

Its a bit of a mixed bag at the moment - some tech, a few picked up at comic cons and some from work - need to buy myself some dev.to stickers. They look so lovely on other people's machines.

Fabian Holzer • Dec 3 '18

Oh, and at the risk of sounding like Sideshow Bob: I don't wish death upon something called unkonf - in this case 'die' is the german female definite article. ;)
