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.
Chad: "August became an IOS soydev because it was hype job title rather than actually being interested in technology."

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"
JavaScript soydevs: "My code run at 2 lines per second and uses 3 GB of RAM and 98% of the CPU, but atleast it gets my HTML page with only a title loading!"

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
