Nametag that says “GitHub CoPilot” and if anyone asks you to “help them with their code” answer like you’re Clippy from MS Word

deleted by creator

“I wish I was 127.0.0.1” sounds perfect for the situation

~“Select shirt from closet where clean == true”

“Select finger from hand where index=3” if you are cheeky

“+1 cold resistance, +1 style, +1 armor” if it’s a gaming group

“418” with a picture of a teapot, fringe but it’s the unique http error code

How about two pieces of paper (based on a t shirt I saw once)… paper on your front, with < BODY >, and second piece of paper with < /BODY > on your back. Made me laugh when I saw it :)

Edit: the tags keep being deleted… perhaps it is readable now…

You could always just go as “End User” which is just a name tag and introduce yourself by quoting Taylor Swift (like the average end user):

“It’s me. Hi, I’m the problem, it’s me.”

Sly reference to PEBCAK.

If you want to put a little effort into it.

  1. Put on a T-shirt backwards with the name tag on the back saying “end user”

  2. Wear sunglasses you drop down when somebody notes it and ask “hey… why’d you turn off my pc?”

  3. Have a wallet with a bunch of printed out “ad” cards (blurred and heavily pixelated NSFW, 1000th customer, free phone, antivirus warning, etc. so you can show them all the important things you’ve been offered and “saved”

Bonus points for tapping them and commenting that it’s their fault for your stuff not working.

  1. Different colored laces and when somebody notes it insist that they’re the same and you definitely didn’t replace the company issued hardware with a cheap knockoff you bought from previously mentioned “adware”

Might be fun to rig the power button so if someone presses it, that song from the Transformers animated movie starts playing…

“You’ve got the touch. You’ve got the power! Yeah!”

If NotDrunk: GiveBooze(“*”) Else: GiveBooze(“water”)

Edit:Formatting is jumbled. Can’t be arsed to fix it

Wear a facemask with 255.255.255.0 and/or /24 sharpied on it and if anyone asks, tell them you’re complying with mask mandates

Error 404: Costume Not Found is a classic.

Disappointed this isn’t the top response

It’s the old but gold option

Alternately, pipe output to “Notepad” and speak by writing your thoughts on a notepad all night.

if CanReadThis = true { TooClose = true }

Feel free to make it look like proper code lol, I don’t know how to program :P

Decided to write it in python for brevity.

if you.can_read_this():
    you.is_too_close = True 

though if you know what you’re doing, you’d be more likely to do something like

you.is_too_close = you.can_read_this()

Ty ty.

Most programming languages uses = to copy a value into whatever whatever you put on the left side. You did it with TooClose, which you set to true.

But when you compare values as you do with the if statement, you need another operator, otherwise CanReadThis will be set to true and the if statement will always run (or syntax error), making it unnecessary.

Compare operators are typically == and/or === and some languages uses their own like ‘eq’ or other exciting ways.

Languages and compilers works in different ways, but your program could look like this. (When comparing a Boolean you don’t need the operator, you can just write the variable since it’s either true or false)

If (CanReadThis) { TooClose = true; }

Lol ty for the help!

Depending on your VCS of choice you could write “⛔️Change Requested” which strikes fear in all developers as another round of feedback and review is needed on your pull request.

Now that’s spooky! 🟦😱

Wear all blue clothes, and get a copy of the screen printed (not on your home printer) to wear on your chest.

You could print out your PGP public key. Niche AF, but if I saw this person at a party I’d high five them.

I’d give a handshake

Your paper: “Ask me about watercooling”

Your accessory: water spray bottle

When anyone asks you about watercooling give them a little spritz

That’s funny, good one!
