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. 
I think a lot of people who hang out in these spaces have a strictly professional relationship with software and work either as code monkeys or team leads ordering around a bunch of code monkeys. Going through University you could definitely tell who approached Computer Science out of pure interest and who approached it for financial gain, and the difference often presented itself through a strong sense of curiosity beyond what was required for the task at hand. It’s a passion for some people and job for others, and you’ll have people who conform to the space for personal gain and people who push the boundaries of the space because they don’t agree with what that space represents or simply because it’s fun to break boundaries.
What if it was a passion until my third month of maintaining billing software?
I’d call that the standard corpo experience.
I listen to a lot of “focus” ambient music from Youtube, and it’s amazing what ideological
otherwise decent links/channels have, where it’s called “hack the planet” or something then it shows some pretentious corpo douche working overnight in a yuppie highrise.
