Usage Guide

Since philosopher emoji are new to many of us, here are some suggestions on appropriate usage. Given the subject matter there will naturally be disagreement, and we invite vigorous debate on the correct usage of each emoji.

Plato

Plato

If something is the most perfect representation of its form, :plato: is the emoji the situation calls for.

Example: this pull request is :plato:

Popper

Popper

When you've realised your tests aren't actually testing anything, your CI server is randomly crashing, or you're having other trouble trying to create a reproducible process, drop a :karl-popper: facepalm into the conversation.

Example: We have a Heisenbug in our deployment: exactly the same setup worked yesterday but is broken today! :karl-popper:

Kierkegaard

Kierkegaard

When you're undertaking a task that you really don't want do, but are nonetheless resolute in you determination to see it through, throw in a :kierkegaard: to let everyone know how you feel.

Example: Alright, I'll take a look at the damn Heisenbug :kierkegaard:

Wittgenstein

Wittgenstein

When you want to stare moodily into the middle distance, :wittgenstein: has got your back.

Example: I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Theorems on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched sets contain themselves near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears…in…rain. Time to die. :wittgenstein:

Sartre

Sartre

Have you got first world problems? If so, you've got a friend in :sartre:

Example: I can't believe they ordered the wrong type of coffee two days in a row :sartre:

Socrates

Socrates

Did someone just answer your question with a question? Drop a :socrates: to let them know you're not falling for that shit.

Example: Thanks. How about you just answer the question? :socrates:

Marx

Marx

What to let everyone know we're all in it together? Throw in a :karl-marx: to show your comrades that you are united in their struggle.

Example: Comrades, a hunger is sweeping Europe, a hunger for pizza. Who will stand with me so that the workers might eat? :karl-marx:

Camus

Camus

When there's too much drama, play it cool with :camus:

Example: It's 6pm on Friday and you want me to deploy what now? Don't you know we're all going to die one day? :camus:
