When did you start wearing programmer socks. Asking for a friend
The first pair I ever ordered were delivered to the wrong address and never arrived; as a result I'm incapable of coding and doomed to bad linux choices.

I see your struggle
i am a linux user and i got my first pair when i was just barely questioning my gender
like maybe 2 weeks into thinking anything of the sort where i kinda assumed i was either a femboy or just cis but fem then i "tried" she/her pronouns online and have never gone back.
been on hrt for a year now and i am no longer depressed and feel much happier about myself.
anyways sorry it went on so long but i guess i started wearing them 2.5/3 years ago although i still cant program for shit
Every steam deck user confused why there's a pair of socks included
steam frame users confused why the claws are missing
I mean, if we're going down that route - anyone with an Android phone. Chromebooks. Windows users with WSL. Arguably iOS/Mac users too to be honest.
And..
..Most smart TVs run on Linux. Lots of DVD players.. cameras.. doorbells.. other embedded devices.. and routers.. Mars drones.. probably some peoples' fridges. I mean heck basically anything with a vaguely complex chip could be running Linux.
..Maybe we should just nationalise programmers socks and give them to everyone.
👷♀️ "Look, i don't get paid to understand why the regulation says we need to wear these socks. I get paid to make sure you're all following the regulations. 
now put on the fucking socks"
that took me like 3 seconds lol
(or somethin like that)
Programmer socks? Well I've got thermal underwear here on Windows, which I guess isn't as cool.
Ew ew ew ew. Windows
Sorry you cant sit with the cool girls
long johns & mac
Just hairy legs
HA LIKE JOE BIDEN 
Now Corn Pop was a bad dude. This is because she was actually a girl all along and it took a pair of socks to get the ball rolling.
I'm not a programmer but I've got a few pairs of patterned net tights if that counts ˶ᵔ⩊ᵔ˶
I started wearing programmer socks while I was still in denial. It became my thing and everyone started giving me programmer socks. I was the “guy” who wore leggings and programmer socks. Now that I actually have a sense of fashion for myself I have no use for all my giant ass socks. I mostly wear black at this point. But I don’t want to throw them out either. Also several people bought me men’s crew socks and could not have misunderstood the assignment more.
I'm wearin' jeans while typing on my new Framework laptop.
I'm sorry.
it's too hot for that we need something more breathable
Its getting cold here. So some kneesocks might be just right for me.
Darn hemisphere
Never have.
9front users don’t use SOCKS because we do everything over 9p

Nah, I don't wear programmer socks. Then again, I also don't program as much as I used to. I definitely thought they were cute, but partially because of transphobic family and partly because I feel like they'd be too hot, I just never got into them.
I don't.
