It's a cynical place with amusingly conservative and luddite tendencies. But even those circle jerks get regularly interrupted.
Reoccurring topics of contentions are:
- Linux <-> Apple
- Electron <-> Native
- Slack <-> IRC <-> Email <-> Discord
- JS <-> no JS ever
- Zuckerberg is worse than JS and FB will fail tomorrow <-> He's an evil genius, operating within the law and FB won't go anywhere
- Work at FAANG at all costs <-> fuck it
And every side has adequate supporters. Bitcoin, crypto, and IoT are the exception. Nobody seems to like that stuff here.
Could be worse.
