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. 
programmer is a job. i think your take is kind of reductive. if there are reactionary tendencies with programmers, it is because they are products of the capitalist base and superstructure of our society, but to suggest that they are all this way because they are simply inherently flawed and that it has nothing to do with neurodivegence or the system we live in is kind of reactionary in my opinion. I think other posters have laid out better why there are reactionary tendencies with programmers, for example, the proximity of tech to the MIC, or the tendency of programmers to grow up in a bourgeois milieu. But even that is a historical explanation since programmers are increasingly downwardly mobile, nonwhite, and third world, since the imperial core has been outsourcing programming, and since there is a tendency of job markets to become oversaturated and under paid.
