A stereotype exists of developers in Silicon Valley. Like all cliches, it unfairly generalises while simultaneously containing some truth.
This stereotype is dressed in a company-branded hoodie, working around the clock on the next great line of code they’re going to write. They work six (or seven) days a week, and don’t think far beyond the next feature, the next launch, or the next “moonshot” idea.
Meet this developer at a party (remember those?) and you’re likely to get a treatise on the benefits of using Node or Java.
Or maybe they’ll tell you about Soylent, the meal-replacement drink that saves them from having to cook. Less time cooking means more time coding. These are the people who think the world can be abstracted down to patterns, programs, and digits.
