Laptop Stickers!

Nothing shows others better that you are a humble, totally epic developer, than putting really cheap stickers on your really expensive laptop!

(Okay, I can't be that humble since I'm bragging about a few 50¢ stickers on a blog - and I'm even wrong on a second account - my Mac here is used, from 2013, and only set me back about $700 😊)

Tech stack

Okay, I'm lying; there are a few stickers there of tools I haven't used in one of my applications yet, but am learning and plan to very soon:

Redux
TypeScript
ReactiveX

Otherwise, it's my honest-to-goodness workflow tools.

So You Wanna Be Cool Too, Eh?

I ordered all of these on redbubble.com No, no, it's not what you think, its not an affiliate link! In fact, a good start portal for RedBubble is devstickers.com. Unfortunately, I found I often had to find the 4-per-page stickers in order to have a sticker size that was suitable for me, obviously so I could fit as many dev stickers as possible on my laptop 😂 - see the picture for reference.

(Update as of March 16, 2018 - I just couldn't resist buying more, and because of the multi-sticker / size of sticker struggles I had above, I ended up creating my own sticker sheet! (I wanted a weird mishmash of stickers for my development interests - spanning from perl to raiblocks to solidity - I know, weird) You can snag the same exact sticker sheet (I found the 'medium' sized sheet to produce the stickers with the best size for a laptop) https://www.redbubble.com/people/chrisfrewin/works/30313316-dev-stickers?p=sticker&size=small&size=medium *Disclaimer: that is indeed my product on RedBubble!

Here's how my mac looks now:

Yep, lots of tools.

Cheers! 🍺

Hi! I'm Chris Frewin, a full stack software engineer, entrepreneuer and educator!

Chris on Full Stack Craft's YouTube channel.

Ah... 😌 I still remember opening up my very first Bash terminal on Ubuntu... it was late summer, in Cornell's Engineering Quad... in short...

It was love

at first sight!

Ever since that first Ubuntu experience, I've been in love with writing software and I've learned an extensive variety of frameworks, databases, design patterns, and languages, including TypeScript, JavaScript, .NET, Python, React, Redux, ABAP, SAPUI5 UI5, C#, PHP7, Postgresql, Magento, and more. I love the challenge of building profitable SaaS products!

I'm also a full stack software educator. I cherish teaching what I've learned over the years, because I think software development is especially difficult these days, with all the new tools and frameworks that seem to come out daily.

With all my courses, I focus on both advanced and niche topics and in each course I always make considerations into the broader backdrop of the entire full stack software ecosystem. If such courses sound interesting to you, please check out the Full Stack Courses page. One final note: I don't want money to be the reason you can't learn from my courses, so if you can't afford a course for whatever reason, simply send me an email and I can get you the course for free.

I don't want anyone to be intimated by the noise of the software world - I too struggle and reach out from time to time for help and mentoring. To this end, I try to make my courses as clear as possible so you don't get lost or confused. I also avoid the theoretical - I offer real world examples far beyond the overused 'todo list' app example.

You can checkout more about my company, SaaS products, and site portfolio on my bio page.

I sincerely hope you enjoy the blog!

- Chris
