Strange how I'm the polar opposite of a leftist and seem to excel at my programming job of 7 years when I was all entirely self-taught in the years leading up to it
It's almost like programming syntax and structure for every popular language in the world has absolutely nothing to do with politics but you all want to pretend otherwise, how interesting!
I guess we simply can't teach the basics of array indexing within a for loop without mentioning how evil it is to vote for Donald Trump midway through... oh wait yea we can we just choose not to and pretend it's not possible XD
Be sure to read through an entire novel on x86 intel assembly and let me know what political stance the language has, the countless MOV inputs within the source code for all NES games is rooted in leftist ideology surely
Clown world to the extreme, I cannot comprehend programming being remotely linked to politics outside of purposely naming your variables certain ways intentionally, what's next will walking a dog be political in 2030? Better not own a white fur dog guys
I mean, there's plenty of things that can be considered left-leaning about it, but they all pretty much surround the culture of programming work. I would tend to agree that there's nothing inherently leftist about programming in general, but I could see how they may feel about it when discussing open source software, AI, and how progressive the general demographics of college educated programmers would tend to be.
That said, your response is a little.... much.
It's fine they'll all downvote me without being able to respond, it's the classic low IQ lemmy special, puts the Leddit hivemind to shame
I assure you this foundation is laid well before they reach the age of specializing into programming, it's why there's such a gigantic disparity from self-taught programmers (which none of these lemmings can grasp ofc)
Open-source software is a valid point though, I've already seen that first-hand from the Loonatix lmao can confirm
Just look at how they act to me, I have no respect for these emotional losers who throw meltdowns over the truth they 'don't like hearing' and exaggerate literal fantasy nonsense in an attempt to screech back as if it's a valid counter-argument, normal responses like your own are the rarity on this website
You do you but I'll be gone from this place in no time, what's the point in involving yourself with such a clueless emotional baby community like this website houses, pure emotion > logic on here which they reward each other for acting like purely since they subjectively agree XD
People 'screech' at you because you sound like an arsehole, dude. Try being less up yourself and you might have a better time.
