Whatever delusions I once held that software engineers are above average intelligence were completely eradicated by seeing how many HN commenters eagerly bought into the obvious lies about DOGE and their goals (amongst other things). It was embarrassing. They sure seem to be a lot quieter about that now, though.
- Gud 4mo agohackers used to be a large percentage of software engineers and are indeed intelligent people with an open mind. However since ~2005 their percentage of the total has gone from ~25% to <1% as computers became less of a hobby and a way to make money.
