Some of the very worst of the worst liberal takes, apologia for fascist shit, and of course cryptobro grifts and even Tesla worship keep coming from there. It's fucked.

I don't want to say all programmers or tech workers are like that, but I don't like what I've seen so far from people with a .programming suffix on their names. disgost

Nah pretty much all programmers are like this. Please somebody develop a COVID strain that only targets people who know what the fuck a leetcode is. I'll gladly sacrifice myself if it means being able to rid the world of the disease that are people who call themselves a software engineer instead of a coder/programmer

I'm a programmer. I think this is mainly a problem of people who are only programmers and nothing else, to the point it becomes their entire persona. I'm more than just my job, I have interests and hobbies outside of it, but some people get sucked into thinking they are their job.

Definitely this. Most programmers I see slowly become supporters of Big Tech/GAFAM (Sometimes this is an "ideal" employer, though the conditions are horrible), besides promoting the "tech will solve all our problems! we just need more of it!" idea.

I know many programmers that (as myself) would never work for a bank or a GAFAM company because we know they are a cancer to society.

And we are getting more by my point of view.

I saw some too, though they tend to skew to the libertarian side of things.

Not furries though. Though honestly I mostly see those on the Hardware side, or at least pretty close to the cold iron.

One of the most left-leaning people I know is both a furry and an electrician, so that tracks.
