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. 
As an engineer i've been thinking about this article , and this one about why engineers are caught between labour and capital . I think the distaste for ambiguity, the degree of certaintity is definately a thing. I can also say from personal experience that the length of the "effort to reward" loop on your discipline ( design of a successful bridge takes years, running the compiler to get no errors found takes minutes) tends to make people more reliant on people and more socialised the longer and larger in scope it is ; most importantly people are part of the solution and not part of the problem. Software guys always think its the client is the problem and Software work can turn into a professionalised
mindset for those who rise to the top.
