Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!
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. 
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.
