The disgusting natures of UNIX, UTF-8, and the general culture here whose members don't understand that touching a computer (poorly) doesn't entitle them to dominion over the non computer-touchers is generally controversial on orange Reddit.

They like politics and understand very little about being a hacker, certainly.
And lastly: do you honestly think most production or data engineers should be imprisoned or stripped of their titles?
Those are just another two sacred cows.
>And since you're explaining your thoughts, are those nature the same or is each one a different facet of the programmer culture?
UNIX and UTF-8 are alike because they were made by the same fools, and both made to avoid upsetting the delicate sensibilities of the disgusting C language. The nature of Hacker News is similar in its ignorance and wastefulness, but it's not a consequence of either.

Sure, probably; it's not as if their titles mean anything anyway.
