Like most things, it depends. Think of the web devs of yore with MacBook Pros and Angular and React and Vim stickers stuck aside their glowing Apple logo (no longer a thing unfortunately). IMO having a pelican pin would be more of the same - advertising you are a developer of some kind. An attempt to bridge the gap to a stranger who might be into the same thing. The tech changes, the desire to signal things doesn't. The usual Exceptions(tm) apply of course.

Yeah, but Vim is cool.
Vim is indeed cool. So is mg. I'd argue so is having my graphics card performing work on my behalf.
Several people I work with have adopted its mannerisms unironically. Then again we don't exactly hang out outside of work.
