My first laptop was covered in stickers. Iβd put stickers from conferences I really enjoyed and stickers for frameworks and languages I felt comfortable working with, and stickers for causes I cared about. It was a 2012 MacBook Pro, and I ran than thing until there was just no saving it. The stickers worked great as advertisement in the pre-pandemic world, and they got me several jobs and great connections.
I got my newest laptop maybe a year and a half ago now. Hard to find the motivation to cover it in stickers without going out and about to grab them, but I think psychologically it would be good to do it for myself anyways
How did the stickers help with jobs? If you donβt mind my asking
I'd be intersted too!
