Programmers aren’t interested in the same programming related topics because everyone is too specialized now. The topics I’d be interested in would be boring to someone else, etc. aside from stuff about elixir which we all geek out on. So general tech topics like dunking on Facebook/apple/surveillance tech and complaining about leetcode job interview headaches get much traction.
- prawn 5y agoThis is probably the main explanation, I agree. There are countless programming languages and storage methods and so on, 99% of which aren't really of interest to me. I use one long-out-of-fashion programming language only ever mentioned as a punchline, and one non-trendy database. Broader topics usually are of interest to me, and tech-adjacent or societal things relevant worldwide like approaches to housing, homelessness, how we use the environment, developments in growing/selling food (robot restaurants).
