Over the past few weeks, I've received laptop stickers from multiple sources. First came a batch of stickers along with the t-shirt for participating in Hacktoberfest 2022. Then, there were a couple in with my membership to FSF. And most recently, a bunch of stickers from DEV as a thank you for volunteering as a Tag Moderator / Trusted User (thank you DEV for the thank you stickers).

All of these stickers made me wonder: Which group of people collectively like stickers more? Software developers/computing professionals, or five-year-olds? Little kids like stickers so much that it is not uncommon for parents and teachers to use sticker charts as a form of operant conditioning to shape their behavior. Are the laptops of computing professionals just expensive sticker charts? Or, are computing professionals somehow more likely to find childlike enjoyment out of simple things like stickers than those in other fields?

Go to the comments section to discuss: Why do you like stickers? Why do you think software developers collectively like stickers? Feel free to also include pictures of your stickers, such as on your laptops, etc.

Anyway, here's a few photos.... of just the stickers (I don't actually have any on my current laptop).
