My Laptop

Glad you asked, Brenda. 😃 I think stickers on the laptop are like a silent language of developers. You are sitting in a cafe; you see a fellow developer working there, and the first thing you notice is her laptop, and that's when you get her story. So when I ordered stickers, I thought I should use this language best to introduce myself to fellow developers. Let me walk you through what each sticker represents here.

The Stack: First thing you will notice is the Stack, of course. I'm a huge fan of Javascript and have been working on these web technologies for almost 5 years now. These were the obvious ones.

Get Shit Done: Yes, I'm a GTD person. I keep experimenting with different ways of being productive in my personal and professional life. I write a lot about them on my Medium blog too. Do check them out. I have some awesome tips and tricks for you all. I feel that everyone should have some kind of personal discipline in their life because that's what helps you grow as a person.

Barry Alen: I love The Flash series, not because of the Flash but because of his team. I always tell my Team that this is what our team should be like, that this is the level we should operate on. If you follow Flash you may already know that Team Flash is the only reason that Barry is still alive😃 and this is the real lesson in fact.

"There is always a team behind every great hero. A hero is just a figure that represents the efforts of the entire team."

Sherlock: Sherlock is badass. No one can be him but you can try, and even if you become 5% of him, you are set. I try to be a good observer like him and I believe it's something that we all should practice. Reading the behavior of people is more than just a skill, it's a superpower.

Mordor Mordor: Okay, that one is hilarious. I love both Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings and this was the best sticker to show my love for both. Both are epic sagas. Though there is no comparison, there are a lot of good life lessons you can take from both. Let's talk about them some other time though.

Groot you are: I know that is hilarious too 😂. Yoda is the greatest mentor of all, I feel. Strong message in few words. That's what you want in your mentor, in your master. Groot is just too CUTE 🤗.

Jon Snow and Ghost: In the end, the hero I love the most, Jon Snow. The person that represents sacrifice and selflessness. This should be the core value of every person. "Give more than you take". This is what open source stands for, this is what every developer writing those free tutorials on Dev.to stands for, and this is what Dev.to itself stands for.

Well, that's what my stickers represent. I hope you guys like my story. What's yours?

Love your stickers and the stories, specially Groot. I am a fan of Flash, but my favorite character is Cisco, I love his outfit and that he’s always working so hard.
Thanks for sharing your stories behind stickers!
