I looked at this very question with the help of the General Social Survey. I found that software engineers tend to hold more extreme political views than the average for the population, but it was equally split leaning to the far right as to the far left. It was a significant effect, but not terribly strong (i.e. just a few percentage points in either direction). Of course, the GSS can't tell you who are the "best" programmers.
- jstanley 10y agoDo you think libertarians are far right or far left? Because I subscribe to something more like this: http://www.littlecamels.com/files/PoliticalCross.jpg http://www.littlecamels.com/files/PoliticalCross.jpg Where libertarianism is on a separate axis to the usual left/right.
- passiveincomelg 10y agoI also think this left/right thing is total bullshit. But fashists are gonna fashist and we need to fight them with all we got, regardless of whether they are the rulers of China or Donald Trump.
