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.
Definitely this. Most programmers I see slowly become supporters of Big Tech/GAFAM (Sometimes this is an “ideal” employer, though the conditions are horrible), besides promoting the “tech will solve all our problems! we just need more of it!” idea.
The pay in big tech is staggering compared to working anywhere else in the field so who can really blame people for wanting those jobs.
I know many programmers that (as myself) would never work for a bank or a GAFAM company because we know they are a cancer to society.
And we are getting more by my point of view.
I saw some too, though they tend to skew to the libertarian side of things.
