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. disgost

    Having worked in tech. The people that get into programming are the kinds of people that spent their youth inside for a variety of anti-social reasons. I’m not saying that it’s all of them, but there is a significantly above normal number of neurodivergent people within programming with a very large variety of social issues. Working within any tech you learn that you need to figure out oddities about various people in it and play around the various issues people have to get anything done.

    Also on the business side of things it’s filled with the worst people imaginable and if you survive your first year or 2 you select for the people that are willing to put up with the worst people imaginable. This then selects for even worse people, over and over and over again.

      Sounds like an industry full of shitty people in management and workers who don’t have the magical neurotypical social senses to figure out they’re being fucked over

          The United States (and most of the world) seems to consist of oppressive, dominant neurotypical fucks in power, neurotypical people who are aware of it but go along with it for brownie points, neurotypical people who are aware of it but delude themselves into thinking they don’t, neurotypical people who are not aware of it at all, neurotypical people who are aware of it and want to do something about it (based), neurodivergent people who are shit on and bullied without having any real idea why, and neurodivergent people who understand why and are super pissed about it (based)

          You can probably tell how a person or group or people are going to act based on which or these groups they fall in

          Most good communities are a mix of based #1 and based #2

      This also describes the US military
