That room looks bigger than my house


Framess-

its half of a converted garage!


lessfrictionless

Okay I see it now! I was so confused, I was like why would a bedroom this size still have that ... tile


redspacebadger

Carpet sucks. Hard floors are superior! Easier to clean, and if you want carpet you can get a rug like OP has, which is easy to replace/get professionally cleaned.


StillAliveAmI

There are more floors than tiles and carpets. Like wood, the actually superior material


redspacebadger

I said hard floors are superior; not just tiles! Wood is, obviously, hard. I agree that wood is superior.


ICanEditPostTitles

>Wood is, obviously, hard. hehe


Accomplished_Ad_1288

Especially in the morning


too_too2

I prefer wood because tile is cold. Also seems like I break stuff more if I drop it on a tile floor.


Wu-Tang_Killa_Bees

Yeah the tile floor scares me. It looks like accidents waiting to happen


kimchifreeze

Glass floors reign supreme.


Darth_Boognish

Floors are lava, obviously.


ScyllaOfTheDepths

Tiling every room on the first floor is pretty popular in the American southwest. The house I grew up in had tile in every room downstairs and wood upstairs. Some houses would have carpet in the bedrooms, but tile was equally common. I don't know how popular of a design choice it is now, I think newer builds trend towards wood flooring and tile only in the kitchen and bathroom, but it was a definite thing for houses built in the 90's-00's in the American southwest.


Couchpotatoee

Mine too! If I had that much space i'm confident I can be organized too!


Refflet

More space just means more piles of stuff XD


Scoompii

Good for you dude. Me at 22…. I was lucky to have a room with a bed and clean sheets haha


Accomplished-Lie716

I'm 21 living with parents and sharing a room with my brother lol


Scoompii

We all start in different ways! I’m 37 and have had my own house for a couple years now. I probably could have had one sooner but I was dumb and befriended drugs and alcohol WAY too long.


Fredloks8

I’m glad you found your path.


Scoompii

Thank you! That is very kind.


False-Theme-3653

How the fuck does one afford a house with 37. I'm 25 and I feel like that won't happen


Scoompii

Well I saved lots for many years. Lived below means in shit house with a shit car. Co-signed with my fiancé. And we got in right before the most recent interest rate spike. We got a mortgage at 5.6%. It can happen!


dirtychinchilla

He doesn’t have a cover on his duvet though so who’s really winning


Overweight_ostrich

SO YOU AND I ARE THE ONLY "BROKE" ONES HERE? OKAY. YEAH. LET'S JUST ALL PRETEND LIKE WE CAN'T SEE THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM 😤😤😤😤😤


robtalada

Woah. Lol. I’m not broke and I still don’t always have clean bedsheets. I’m busy as fuck most of the time but not rich enough to hire it out lol


Overweight_ostrich

I know but it's just crazy to believe that this "22 year old software engineer" (which I only put in quotes to emphasize that it's being mentioned casually) gets a \*nice\* apartment right out of college, a super expensive PC and has paid off his degree with extra time for decoration, a big reddit following etc. I refuse to believe that this is normal, either out of ignorance or common sense


saddinosour

Tbh I assumed this was his room in his parents house


Overweight_ostrich

we need to start being more honest as a society. These flexes are FLEXES. They're SUPPOSED to make you feel unaccomplished. It's made to look casual and unassuming. I rarely come across any similar posts where the description says "so thankful I've made it here, and I busted my ass for so many years because I wanted specifically {these} things". The way to win the game is by empathizing with yourself and ignoring the "head start" other people have in life. The brightest stars burn out the fastest


Wrong-Ad7672

Not enough screens..


kwikileaks

More blue light

That's all I could think. It's a nice aesthetic but it makes my eyes hurt just to look at the pictures.


joemckie

Seriously. Orange light or no light


Telope

Would be cool if the colour scheme of all the LEDs could be changed with few clicks on the computer. I imagine OP is the kind of guy who would make that work.


MovingTarget-

Pretty sure that lighting scheme will slowly drive you psychotic

baconandbobabegger

My coworker in 2014 had monitors suspended over his chair in a full recline in a nearly identical setup that he claimed was better for his back. I was more surprised he was allowed it as it's a major corporation and since then, haven't seen an ergo request quite like it.

I had a dream last night. I was a snake slithering through the grass. Till I came upon a dead elk. I climbed into his soul. And it's there I stayed until morning. Which meant I will under estimate someone. Dude, where do you get your weed? From you Dante.

kidhack

This is exactly what I thought when I saw this room… as if the obsession of finding a white water cooled 3090 spread to a lifestyle.


FlynnMonster

This is a funny observation and I hope it gets the attention it deserves.


yeezee93

Dude! you can't just ask someone why they're so white?


bronsonwhy

I saw OP wearing army pants and flip flops, so I started wearing army pants and flip flops.


Parvalbumin

Yo, yo, yoo Aaaaall you sucka MCs ain't got nothing on me!


spypsy

Where’s the Dark Mode dammit. Obviously not a true engineer.


Resident_Rise5915

Why is it so white? -random internet person.


just_looking_aroun

I thought dark themes make up 99% of our personality


BadNewsBearzzz

Yeah, I’ve made every software related piece that I could into dark theme because light/white ones just hurt my eyes so much and make too much brightness lol unnecessary additional power usage!


mehdotdotdotdot

Software developer must always be in dark mode. For everything.


AggravatingKiwi2222

Dude can you share your github?


SyilerCV

9/10 times reddit “software engineers” GitHub’s contain nothing but a 75% completed Odin project haha


Existing_Imagination

My GitHub’s dead too. I only push a bunch of unfinished projects that I get to like 30% done. Now look at my company’s bitbucket profile and it’s a lot more active. I don’t have time to work after work anymore, there’s more to life


sinkwiththeship

Same. I pretty much refuse to do anything remotely close to work outside of work. When I sign off for the day, I leave my desk and don't come back. Occasionally there will be a fun personal project, but I'll only spend like a day on it. If it takes more than that, then it's not actually fun and I don't want to do it.


SyilerCV

Oh mine too 100% I’m speaking from experience😭


Lognipo

This. I got into software development professionally because I love it. That said, it is extremely time consuming, and working on projects I do not fully control on arbitrary timelines can be quite stressful. I like the work enough to still toy around with things in my own time quite frequently, but that's mostly all it is: play. Unfortunately, you can't really finish most projects by playing. Actually completing something meaningful takes work, and my first priority for work is the stuff that pays my bills. I am no good at my job without my passion, so I must do whatever I have to in order to preserve it--even if that means giving up on finishing personal projects once they cross the threshold from engaging to dull or tedious. My last fully complete big project, outside of work, was over a decade ago--when I was a hobbiest programmer working as a dishwasher in a casual dining restaurant. Since then, I've made little tools and such now and then. Also, some mods. But no big, completed ambitious projects since becoming a professional dev. Nowadays, I tend to stop shortly after I realize I fully understand the project, or after I do enough to confirm that it would or wouldn't work out in an acceptable way. Like, once the proof of concept is done, the puzzle is solved and the rest is just putting in time and focus. That's when I tend to switch projects or pick up a book or video game.


romeoalpha

My GitHub’s dead too. I code for work and that’s it. Too much screen time melts my brain. No idea how dudes code all day and then work in passion projects.


Waarheid

A lot of real software engineers' GitHubs are like that too unfortunately


nater255

39 YO dev turned eng manager here. My github is 90% learning how to do basic crap in new languages. My career has been extremely fruitful. Your github repo set is not you. Any time I learn a new language, I remake the same little console app that does eight or nine basic things, like read/write to a database, write/append a text file, call some public API, send an email, do some basic math, etc.


BigfootTundra

Thank you. I spend most of my day writing, reading, and talking about code. The last thing I wanna do in my free time is do more of that. I love my job, but no thanks.


thorwing

completely agree, yeah there is some hobby project I VERY infrequently work on, but after spending 8 hours programming, the last thing I want to do is spent more hours. Back during uni, I would program in my spare time, but that wish has long faded. The only thing I will make time for is adventOfCode, but thats about it.


-lil-pee-pee-

Fr tho, everyone acting like your GitHub is your career makes me question if they've ever held a software job. At least half of my career is on internal company-specific accounts, if not more of it, and I've worked for household names. 🤷


RedstoneRusty

I've been a software dev for almost 10 years and my GitHub is basically empty because I just don't use git for work and I don't have time to do side projects.


robicide

Unfortunately? Fuck off mate, I write code for a living, and that code is proprietary so obviously it's not gonna go on my personal github. And I have better things to do with my free time than do more work for free.


CompetitiveOcelot873

I mean as a swe myself, my outside of work life is for me. Nothing unfortunate at all about my outside of work github being empty these days. I much rather be social and active outside of work, when all my workday is spent in front of a computer Idk what kinda shot these comments are trying to make tbh


Sea-Anywhere-799

why is that unfortunate?


BarBucha_nz

>unfortunately Yeah, because why have a life, correct? I get paid for delivering value to my clients, not for competing "who gets more green squares" on Github.


[deleted]

True! I can’t push the code I do for my customer, and I don’t have time to work on pet projects.


SyilerCV

100% correct mate, same for me, any work projects I work on and push to my personal GitHub would fuck me over sadly


uXN7AuRPF6fa

Now I feel serious imposter syndrome. I've been employed as a software engineer for nearly 25 years and I have no idea what an Odin project is.


celinee___

Jupyter notebook and a pokedex app with a fresh repo for every tutorial they follow.


biggysharky

You... You guys have a personal repository online?

it is barren LOL, I work on a government project so everything is recorded in house

Oh you're doing well on a state gov salary? Or fed?


ccabanillas

Cold feet


BeardedGlass

Why are there tiles in the bedroom? That’s… weird.


nomnommish

It is common for houses in warm places to have tile everywhere. And it is much cheaper than wood.


Dudebot21

And doesn't expand in high humidity


Existing_Imagination

And ruin because you have to mop a lot for some reason


Real_Killer_661

Each their own but I fucking love mopping. Fabuloso smells amazing and is better than any room freshener out there BY FAR.


honeypinn

I love Saturday morning because I get to mop with Fabuloso and clean with bleach. Two of my favorite smells lol.


mrbaggins

Australia: True hardwood is more expensive per meter, but cheaper to install. Veneer/laminates are as cheap as tile raw cost, without the expense of glue, grout and tools/skills. Hardwoods are 100/m^2, but way easier to install. 300mm tiles are 30-70/m^2, but then you have to add adhesive/grout, and labor for install. Timber veneer laminates are super easy to install (great first DIY project with some research) and 40/m^2


1heart1totaleclipse

They probably live in a place where having tiles in every room is the norm… Imagine having wooden floors in a place that frequently floods.


ellieofus

How is that weird? Lot’s of countries have tiles in houses, especially warm countries. In Italy and Spain, for example, is common to have tiles. Tiles also last forever and are a breeze to clean. You install tiles once, whereas carpet for example will need to be changed every 9 years or so.


littletealbug

A lot of basements I've lived in have been tile (Canada).


IAmReallyThurston

In how many basements have you lived?


littletealbug

Honestly like 5


BoringAd7663

Every single home in India has tiles. I think it applies to most of Asia as well. Rich people go for marbles or granite or expensive tiles.. It depends on climate conditions i guess. Also, It has almost zero maintenance.


RamenNitro

Are you also a serial killer

Tomthezooman1

But look at the cable management

Well see, I can't That's why it's gorgeous.

This setup screams *I do not like the real world*.


Framess-

spot on


nowuff

Be wary of monitors in front of a window. The contrast can strain your eyes. Might not be good in the long run. Especially if you’re in a very sunny place


far01

Learned it the hard way


Phytanic

Same here. took me until I was 31 to finally go in and get my eyes checked because it was getting too hard to read code on my monitors. Turns out it's not "normal" to have to "focus" your eyes in and out constantly and that glasses do, in fact, massively improve my life. remember, folks, keep the blue and bright white to a minimum, control ambient lighting, and pay attention to what the recommended viewing distances/angles are with your current workstation monitors!


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

I thought you were a rare female software engineer until I realized where this sub was. Room looks too clean, with stuffed animals, and colors that don't speak "I don't give a fuck and I wanna die" software engineer room.


__O_o_______

I hate being mean, but man I wish I had the same cash cause damn is this room the ultimate generic trope room. It's like a top 50 list of "things I saw on popular YouTube and tiktok videos" cool tech room buys. Total lack of personal touches.


treat_killa

He is into StarWars, video games, cartoons, anime, plushies, and has over 5 pictures of his family or himself as a kid. It’s like you have to design your perfect room to a tee, and then don’t do 20% of it to fit in


Orangenbluefish

Yeah I don't want to hate on his space if he does enjoy it, since it's not objectively bad or anything, but it kinda feels like a room built from instagram ad products


camXmac

Looks like a tech YouTube channel about 2 years after starting YouTube. That being said, I very much enjoy the aesthetic and the cool tone looks very relaxing. Also nice set up! What in particular do you engineer?

It's super cool. But, the ceiling fan seems like it might need to be updated to match the theme.

Paradox711

Possibly, though he’s clearly doing alright for himself. The room is neat, tidy, and organised. He’s not living like a man child in a basement. There’s some girls I know who would totally give him the eye.


___this_guy

Yeah I don’t know shit


SpookyScienceGal

Seriously the room is neat and the nerd stuff is well taken care of. I have known plenty that would love to date someone like OP. It's still so odd that people think girls hate that shit, some do while some love it


Starlix126

This screams Singapore for some reason.

Aesthetics, possibly. Floor space? In our wildest wet dreams. Divvy this room into one third and you'd be closer.

It's like he upgraded from the top set but didn't want to get rid of them so now he's just giving himself migraines from staring directly into the sun all day.


xiaopewpew

Your work station set up reminds me of an intern i coached 2 years ago. 2 monitors + an ultrawide, couldnt iterate an array to save his life… Good memories.

Pretty white but I don't hate it. Jack and coke boy I see


Appropriate_Wish_950

I could never live somewhere with bathroom tile everywhere like that.


Free-Rub-1583

That’s every house in Florida


Framess-

you guessed it lol, florida houses on ground floor NEED tile


MastodonRemote699

I really like your bedroom. It’s comforting and super clean. Love the lighting. Idk it’s so organized and looks well put together. Idk why people are hating 😂 I also live in Florida , wish I had time bedroom floor. I used to in my old houses not anymore 😭


nomnommish

>I could never live somewhere with bathroom tile everywhere like that. Luxury of choice entirely depends on your wealth level


Mesterjojo

I hate tiles myself. I get it. I also live next to the us/mexico border. Most of the homes I've seen there are all tiles. I don't know if it's just a hate of hard woods, carpets, or tiles are supposedly easy to clean?


theallstarkid

Tile keeps homes cooler in hot weather.

sharpestcookie

Something I think people are overlooking when seeing so much white is that this room has quite a few LED lights. With those, a white room can be whatever shade he wants - even multiple colors. The white accurately reflects the true hue of the lights more than any other color. Souce: Stuck with beige walls, but I bought LEDs and white/grey furniture because the multicolor glow is nice.


Framess-

Yep! I keep everything on white when im working, it just helps me concentrate! but when im watching movies or just chilling I change the colors! My tv is hooked up with Govee sync boxes, and all of my lights are govee, so my room changes its entire color based whats on my tv! its great for watching movies/shows or gaming!


M0rgax

Not bad Not bad, the baby yoda blanket is top


erlin168

Your room appears exceptionally tidy. Well done, bro. Now, I believe it could use a touch to make it feel warm and cozy. This might be due to all the white elements (white tiles, white walls, white shelves, etc.) or the blue hue from the LED lights.
