Politics in Tech

Ie Red Team vs Blue Team where people preach inclusiity while actively excluding anybody who doesn't strictly align with their unique brand of political identity.

I'm here to build the future, with anybody capable -- or at least willing -- to contribute. Not play the 'pander to special interest flavor of the month' game.

Tech Twitter and SF mostly

Not sure if it's just an outside-in perspective but Silicon Valley seems like a cesspool of toxic personalities.

DevTo is cool tho. It seems to be one of the few online dev communities that's healthy, positive, supportive, encouraging.

Sili Valley is toxic, not least in the founder-fetish mentality it celebrates. The farther away from it you get, geographically and culturally, the better developer you will become.
