Which techie are you? Tag yourself in the comments!
The Dancing Queen / King - when the tune is right, you stand up for some sick moves. Singing along is optional but highly encouraged.
The Artsy - your desk might look a bit messy and there's definitely plenty of pens, colors, papers, and whatnot art supplies.
The Cat Whisperer - maybe it's the heat, maybe it's the funny moving images on the screen, nobody knows for sure - but your desk is typically claimed by felines who will make sure you notice they're there.
The Pack Leader - good boys / girls make sure you feel loved throughout the day; a snack or two and some belly rubs are expected in return.
The Minimalist - not much to say or see, but things are certainly on the right spot?
The Mom / Dad - your desk has a unique mix of random toys and maybe some lovely but at the same time awful hand-made mother day's gifts. There's also coffee, but it might be cold...
The Tech Deeva - nail polish, hand cream, lipstick and lip balm... just the basics. Maybe you're a youtuber, maybe not, but you definitely know some tricks to look good in the camera.
The Librarian - e-readers are boring, you prefer real books. Lots of them. Maybe you didn't read them all, but who cares? They are there for when you need them.
I am mostly number 2 and number 6, but sometimes I'm a 1 and a bit of a 7 as well! :)

More of a cross between The Librarian and the dancing queen, with, when at home, a bit of artsy
Minimalist... Except messier. Wish I could be a pack leader, but my current situation doesn't let me have dogs 😭
Oh yeah, I would like to be a Cat Whisperer but also not the right moment for me (:
Well if there would be similar stuff like a poll for males I would be.
combination of:
I'm 9. The Engineer with devices and components all about me (though organised) but mixed with 8 having books everywhere. For each book I read, I buy two more. And when most folks get hair on their tongue, for me, it's a resistor. How did that get in there!?
For a second there, I thought you meant you're 9 years old.
:D
Hah. Imagine that. In fact, I started coding when I was 9, and I was the "10. Floppy Disks filled with downloaded code everywhere" developer then.
Haha, that's a good one - I've been a "CDs everywhere" person in my teenage years 😜 I'm glad it's so much easier to share and keep data nowadays!
I'm currently a mix of minimalist and artsy. I like to keep my space clean and open so I can work on art projects there. When I'm done with them, I try to clean them off again.
I'm the opposite.
Over time I clutter my desk with projects and supplies until I can't see it anymore. Then the minimalist breaks through and cleans it all up. Rinse and repeat.
I am exactly the same! But I never get as clean as the minimalist, lol....
That's nice! I try to do that but it doesn't last long. haha so I just give up and find a way to have the supplies I need in my desk in a less chaotic way
I am a childless man but am definitely The Mom here
HAHAH good one!!!! You must have a fun desk then.
The toys are my own 🙃
And I’ve fallen behind on flipping this calendar. 🤨
Ben, may I selfishly have your GitHub toy please🥺
You have a fur baby, that counts for like half credit 😉
I need to open with that more often.
3, 4, 5, and 8 for me.
Wow, that's awesome
I'm the Mom (technically Dad). The coffee may be cold, but is always present. Kid picture (check) although my kids are too young to have many creations. Working in an office I don't have kids' toys on my desk, but I do have my tech toys (dual stack monitors, mechanical keyboards, gaming mouse, Randall Monroe's What If?)
The minimalist for sure.
My desk is as clutter free as my desktop.
My shelf of coding books are as organized and neat as my project folders are.
I try to use IDE's that support a wide variety of languages so that I only install what is required and nothing more.
I even clean out my tower regularly to maximize air flow and temperature control.
My PC/Desk is akin a well oiled machine.
Yass! Dancing Queen (but with headphones). Also helps against back pain 😄
Just reorganized from Librarian to "Minimalist" with bonus option: electronic music equipment on the desk. The Multidisciplinarian?
I'm definitely a minimalist. I like to leave my desk like I "was never there". I found out that having a frugal work station makes me think more clear. Having a lot of stuff on the desk make me feel anxiety.
Same here, Man!
Too much visual noise puts me on a nerve!
minimalist
I don't see an option here for sleep deprived, coffee fueled, early twenties man. 🤣
4 6 5 7
But daddy, because parents have other genders.
5+6.
