a sign that a Dev may well be cracked is if they use ms paint for a presentation

@Dudebeinaguy

The absolute most cracked devs are physicists and mathematicians who write code that nobody can understand that they translated directly from their chalkboard and type with 1 finger

@proph2t

As a college freshman, I have absolutely no idea what you're saying, but I will look into it all

@musicplaylist6909

Meanwhile the actual cracked senior is debugging prod on a mac laptop sitting hunched on a stool while eating his lunch in the company's cafeteria. Oh, the laptop isnt even his, he just borrowed it off his junior.๐Ÿ’€

@dumpii30

Cant believe you gave this much advice away for free

@Hamza-qs7ez

Jesus. I have tears coming out from laughter. I love these cracked/lindy signs. The humour is subtle but backed on real life. I do remember the most cracked, respected dev, having terrible audio but everything they state - even though short - is always taken with so much focus and listening. 

Please do more informative but with this humour blended in. So good.

@AndrewS-vu4ji

I think i got more cracked by watching this

@Hopetobebetter

As someone with no fucking job or credibility, I think part of being cracked is feeling a NEED to learn those technologies and THEN learning them. Not just as a gimmick to look cracked.

@tedbendixson

Cracked in game dev is neovim running on multiple operating systems, a game engine you built from scratch in C-flavored C++ where you allocate all of the game's memory up-front, a level editor you made yourself that's integrated with the game so you can press F4 to toggle between the editor and the game without having to rebuild the game's executable, a build system that's just a Windows .bat file or a bash shell script on Mac OS, RemedyBG on Windows and Xcode on Mac OS and iOS (but you don't use it as a text editor you only use it as a debugger), and your copy of Clean Code in its proper place in the trash can because that shit is hot garbage for game dev.

I once worked with a guy who had all this stuff. Fancy keyboard, headphones, perfect beard, etc. but he was a very average dev. Not terrible but not amazing.

@LukeAvedon

Yes! actual debugging skills sets you apart soooo much on the job.

@onlinealias622

The most cracked devs on my team have very different setups. One has multiple monitors, a MacBook, a split keyboard and the Bose headphones, another one has Bose headphones and just codes on a windows laptop using vim and putty from his couch, and the other one has cheap headphones but a nice keyboard paired with the MacBook and multiple monitors and uses VSCode. The tools donโ€™t make the man.

Me when I drop my phone on the ground:
"Oh no I hope it's not cracked"

@whiskey_jim7755

On the gear:
- herman miller 100%
- mouse -- lol
- keyboard, sure
- monitors -- absolutely not.  The best devs in the world, as discussed on Lex Friedman's podcast (Kaparthy and Carmack) both use a single monitor with laptop to the side.  This is the case for the best devs I've seen as well.  More than 2 screens means you're a trader or you're signaling that you're doing more than you actually are.
- speakers -- what?

@AdrianWalker-g2j

Neck beard is a must ๐Ÿ˜‚

@ChrisCond3

Top tier trolling in this video had me laughing throughout! I am a vim and tmux fan so I feel like a cracked dev!

@ScottPrice7

You use an example of Markus Persson, who is "cracked" then gave go on about all the tools and environments that he didn't use. He developed Minecraft with Java on windows. Cracked Devs just  ignore everything except what they need to do. All the fancy chairs, keyboards, environment and tools is just coping

@palc618

This may be the best video Iโ€™ve ever seen

@truejohnsolo

I think I determined I'm about 35% cracked but still got some serious work to do.
