Don't ever try writing code on a long flight. People LOSE THEIR SHIT.

    What exactly happened? This sounds like a good story

    @jhh2450 Well it wasn't actually that bad, I was on a flight from San Diego to Orlando (about 6 hrs). The person to my left was a friend, but I didn't know the person to my right. Anyway about an hour in I pull out my laptop and started working on fixing some bugs (as devs typically do). And the person to my right got kinda freaked out because of the code/terminal/linux and pressed the button to call the flight attendant. Anyway long story short I ended up putting the laptop back into my bag because I didn't want to cause any trouble.

    @Devman That's it? What a fucking idiot. If you were using something like a mechanical keyboard, I'd understand. But really people?

    I've got a 6 hour car ride early Wednesday morning. Likely gonna piss everyone off while coding. 🤷

    I'm going to have 10 hour flight soon and was hoping to finish a pet project ( my own hackathon )

    Guess that's not gonna happen 😤😤

    @Devman Should've told her you were going to hack the plane and make it crash into a building.

    Too far? I'm too fucked up in the head lol.

    Actually, i tend to agree with the bastard. The terminal is too powerful to be used on a plane. Maybe we could all agree on just sticking to windows if on a plane. Just to keep it safe for the mortal bitches that might be on it. Also, refrain from wearing black and leotards.

    Two then you're a gouvernement agent currently fighting off a cyber attack against the plane. Make dramatic noises as you code. Sound intense. Finally end with a huge sigh of relief and close the laptop dramatically. Wait for the applause.

    Now imagine terminal/cli tools in Arabic 🤔😈

    Dude, just switch back to light theme on everything and you'll be ok on a plane 😁 in the movies, light theme can't hurt anyone

    @shiv379 even better, just say "oh shit" and close the computer

    What did your bug errors say? Error 404 flight not found?

    I wonder if you could just say you're a writer and making the next Game of Thrones (you hope so at least) and maybe get a privacy screen.

    I am actually tempted to try this out haha

    I don't want to sound like a bad person, but I don't think this could happen in Europe.

    Just keep coding on planes and public spaces. So what if that makes them uncomfortable, they do things that make me uncomfortable, like being uncomfortable because Im programming.

    @pagongski but i use the CMD on windows all the time :/

    @RakNoel so make it green on a black background. So stupid paranoid people can more easily relate to the seriousness in movies way better.

    @pagongski once did, but in Norway the flight crew are genuinly smart. The lady went away with the flight crew for quite a while. The flight attendant came back, appologised and said she had been given a new seat further back 😂 on a in-land flight of fucking 40minutes...

    @RakNoel haha. Well, jokes aside, how can mortals ever know what people like you/us are really doing on a black screen with letters they don't understand?

    Your avatar seems familiar..thought i was replying to myself. :)

    @Devman you should have said, "We have reason to believe an S rank hacker is on this plane trying to take it down with a smart phone... Im our last hope of survival..."
