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. 
Yeah I initially got a compsci degree (while very lib/not caring) thinking this will be the thing that is easiest to do while making a comfortable amount of money to survive (already hated capitalism before I knew what it was).
Turns out it's not even easy, it's ridiculously competitive now. Then, as I learned more, I started to hate it. 90% of jobs here are either: Raytheon/Lockheed shit, or health insurance (let's create a way to deny your claims with x% more efficiency!)
That plus my significant issues (might be autistic or something) means I might just give up on work entirely.
