I used to own one less-feminine one, for the winters, but they became obsolete thanks to global warming.

I never knew about this until my non-programming partner asked what I thought about them.

I personally prefer programming barefoot, but then I also use GNOME.

How are you supposed to program without programming socks?

You're not, it's possible but you'll have a really bad time.

Maybe good against programmers venous thrombosis. Should be acknowledged as a work related illness.

Eh, who is still using paper books to learn programming languages? Every popular language has a website with online manuals.

Well, except C, because it's crammed together with C++ on https://cplusplus.com/ and https://cppreference.com/

And socks just grow organically after 3 years of coding.

I thought the books were for your shelf tbh. You put one for each language you claim proficiency in.

It's cool to have niche older books though. My friend has a programming manual in Estonian from either the very late soviet era or very early 90s that has both some dialect of BASIC and some niche dialect of Pascal that I hadn't even heard of.

The book is to get your monitor to an ergonomic height!
