Developer tattoos 👀

#devjournal #discuss #webdev

I was writing a post about my development journey yesterday and it made me wonder, does anyone else have any developer tattoos? 🤔

Mine is a simple "Hello World" that I got after I was promoted to Junior, it was the first thing I ever learnt and it was the start of this incredible journey ⭐️

I’d love to hear your stories? 🙂

There's a phrase to have a "chip on your shoulder" — I've thought about getting a little computer chip on my shoulder as a play on this idea. Haven't done it yet though. 😅

To have a chip on one's shoulder refers to the act of holding a grudge or grievance that readily provokes disputation.

Free stickers for life if anybody gets the DEV logo as a tattoo.

I think a chip on your shoulder would be a great idea! 😄
I did nearly get cmd + c, cmd + v as in copy and paste developer 😂

P.s I could do with some free stickers for my laptop 🤔👀 lol

Does temporary tattoo count(for the logo)?

That's a cool idea!

I'm not into tattoos actually but I saw people in the linux subreddit to do this

This looks a little suicidal

even more with --no-preserve-root

I think that technology moves too fast, I can't justify it because it will make you feel old... Unless it's bash, I guess that's not going anywhere (3 years later, nobody uses bash due to critical security flaw)

hahahaha , imagine?

I can see this:
"
BREAKING NEWS:

BASH abandoned due to critical security vulnerability

"
and no one believing it for the first few minutes

This really happened to the sudo program although it was patched 😅

I'm not into tattoos (and thus I have none) but this cute little "hello world" made me giggle. Should I ever take one, this would make a good candidate
