Looks really thought out! I've never bought dev merch and I don't drink coffee so I have no idea. One thing to consider: from where I come from telling other people you're a developer makes you look geeky and unsociable so wearing a dev t-shirt makes you look unattractive. Maybe a merch with "inside jokes" that only other developers would understand and wouldn't scream "I'm the computer guy" would be more desirable.
Developer, knitter and e-textile enthusiast. Seeing many similarities in handicrafts and programming. Reading and writing about diversity and inclusion.
Thank you Mathew! And thanks for pointing that out, it is a really relevant point! I guess I have been living in that kind of developer/geek/nerd bubble from high school onwards (most of my friends are either developers or work in other STEM professions), so I can wear and carry developer related merch without being seen as unsociable or unattractive. And this is a privilege.
Do you mean something like this with the "inside joke" that only developers would understand?
Charlene makes this type of graphic art from characters, and I guess that close up people would realise the shapes are made of characters, but wouldn't necessarily get the developer reference 🧐
