    A quick question, should the software engineer lick the monitor screen or the keyboard?

    I… uh… am asking for a friend who is a software engineer.

    I am a butterfly instructor.

        Given most software engineers develop in a cloud environment, I would… I mean my friend would have to shove their head into a server rack that is consuming high amounts of wattage. My friend would then have to try reaching for the motherboard by extending their tongue.

        The only problem I see here is travelling to the data centre which are often located in different countries or even continents. I am not sure if their employer would cover that expense.

      Most keyboards get really gross after a while and are hardly ever cleaned. I’d go for the monitor.

          Apple could have avoided an entire lawsuit for their butterfly keyboards, if their users did this one thing. SMH.

      The butterflies. Someone needs to see if they taste of butter.

      Isn’t there a game where if you put ketchup on the disc it does something to make it easier to speedrun? So licking might be too unreasonable

        Thanks for sharing the insight. Apparently, it was a speed run hack on Xbox for an old SpongeBob game.

        So, there’s some precedent set in the field of computer peripheral licking to improve results.
