The Silicon Valley/ Seattle based soy latte drinking hipster you see at the coffee shop, coding NodeJS on his macbook pro. He only uses a bloated IDE and is too beta to ever touch Vim. This creature will justify his use of a macbook by saying that "it's UNIX based" but at the same time will defend not having a linux machine due to some nonsense reason. GUI everything; it makes him feel safe. #1 aspiration in life is to work for FAANG and will consume any disgusting product or service they sell.

Soydev'nt 

One who is not a "soydev" (see the definition of soydev on urban dictionary). Can be used the same way that "soydev" is used, except it is negating the conventional definition. For example, one who is a stereotypical programmer who consumes apple products and using a bloated IDE would be considered a soydev by many people. However, someone who commonly uses Linux and edits their code using vim would be considered a soydev'nt in this case, because they are *not* a soydev.
Person 1: "Stop coding on a MacBook, you soydev!"
Person 2: "Why? Your a soydev too!"
Person 1: "No, I am a soydev'nt."
A "programmer" that works at a bich tech company and only knows javascript and HTML. They love IDEs like Visual Studio Code and inefficient frameworks that slow their code down. They represent the majority of "programmers" today and if their numbers continue growing, not one person on earth will know how a computer works by the year 2050 when all the gigachad 1980s C and Unix programmers are gone.
God: "I will give my creation the most advanced brains in the animal kingdom so that they will use them to create great things"
