Are most of your friends developers too?

not even a single person knows what code editor is. I think it had to make friends when you start this career when your young which is really challenging to make friends and find time for friends too.

No. Not really. Usually my friends like Basketball and Dota 2 (which I like as well). Would be nice if there's even only a single one, though. Haha

Nooooooooo. I like to check my level of sanity among people and my non-dev friends always help with that even though I hear words that I mostly process like a native/git keyword 😄 I love the mix it gives me.

But I do spend more time with my developer friends than my non-dev friends 😄, and it cool.

Most of my friends are devs because that was the ones that stick of my time at college and my BFF from high school it's a dev too.

I used to have some friends that are not related to IT (or quit the career) but I've been distant with everyone since I move to another city(something I need to fix)

I've got friends from different points in my life that practically don't overlap at all. The best friend is a Dev though (I see her as my best friend, not sure if it works the other way around 🤣)

Developers? No. Most of my friends are DBAs. Lol, no. I have two groups of friends, one group is centred around IT and are mostly devs.

Some, but definitely not the majority. From my closest group of college friends, I'm the only coder, and, post-college, I've made many friends from my other hobbies (e.g., comic books, fiber arts), as well as the local and virtual tech community.

I'm literally the only person I know that codes. I hope to change that by joining communities like this one and on Slack.

...It sucks a lot because I want to just share and talk about what I'm building and learning--but to most of them I'm speaking gibberish.

3-4 years ago, i don’t have friends developers, but now most of my friends are developers.
