The fact that it lists Minix as an OS choice but not (say) Fedora makes me wonder if it's supposed to be a joke, but if so it's way too subtle for me.

Minix 3 isn't (intended to be) a joke. It's supposed to be a reliable, self-healing, UNIX-like operating system.

I understand that, but placing it on a "what OS do you use daily to develop with" while leaving out far more popular OSes gives a distinct "it's a pretty obscure OS; you probably haven't heard of it" hipster vibe.
