It's a bit snobby, both shelving and the desk.

Now when I checked his website in little bit more detail I get that feeling more and more. Looks like someone who brags about a lot of things he owns and cannot shut up about it.

I've been following Fatih on Twitter/X for many years now. He's someone that appreciates good design, and posts about it all the time (not just things he's purchased/owns). So he's someone that appreciates good things, and then reviews and shares for others to benefit.

Some people have other hobbies that cost a lot more than enjoying fine furniture, such as cars. It's easy to dismiss something as snobby when it's not a hobby you share. But if you get to know him (for me, obviously from a distance and only from following him on Twitter), he's anything but a show-off.

I suspect it might be more like:

  while true:
    optimize life

personally my setup is on iteration <n> of keyboard, mouse, desk, monitor, computer, wrist rest, etc etc etc etc

That’s a rude and terrible thing to say about someone you don’t know. I guess hiding behind anonymity gives people courage.

How is it "rude" and "terrible" (dramatic much?) to infer a loose profile from someone based on what they willingly decide to share with the world? Maybe parent is wrong, but that's their perception of the author based on what they put out there.

Lol. I just love things man. What a rude comment. You even don’t know me :) Check my x.com/fatih account for more. I don’t withhold the things that bring me joy.

This thread is full of cynical and bitter takes.

I think it reflects on the current state of things. I wonder if people look at this kind of fancy stuff and associate with a life that is ever more out of reach, instead of something to aspire to.

Don't forget the $700 desk lamp.
