That's... a little extreme. I have a printer, and it's... fine.

You're not a typical tech worker.



Even for prosumer IT, those features aren't unusual.

Big communities exist online for it now, but a majority of the young professionals we interview have AV/IT racks at home, usually outfitted with a 3D printer or two on top. Whether it's for their home theaters, their video work, or some general labbing or engineering, they're proud of them, and it doesn't hurt to demonstrate investment into their interests and working knowledge.

It might not be typical of coders who favor high mobility or other software-only roles like application support and front end, or it might just be regional since we're in a tech and research hub surrounded by colo facilities and data centers, but it's kind of funny how naked and vulnerable people look when they come in with just a MacBook loaded with their livelihoods.
