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. 
IMO, anybody can be good at coding. Humans just *think *programmatically to solve problems a lot of the time.
You start them when they're young, okay child tell me how to make a piece of toast
"You just make the toast" - a child
"no small one, START w/ 'picking up the ~~toast~~ bread'"
Slowly over time a child will understand what it is to do programmatic-style work. Once there, they "learn" a language. *Plenty *of people say they just can't learn a language (cough cough USA/UK?). I say bullshitttt. You're smarter than you think
Thank you xoxo
