It will when you go around making self-conscious posts about it. Be proud of the code you write. Be even prouder it has users and if someone decides they don't like you based on their own short-sighted judgements, remember the world of technology is exploding and you will find gainful employment elsewhere. Also, you can use this mindset to maximize your income in negotiations and be quick to leave for better opportunities if you find your current job lacking. In an interview situation, your tech skills and intelligence will shine through, even if making small talk, even if you express strong ideology surrounding your interests (passion sells so that would be a plus in my book even if I didn't agree with your views, your technical capability will demand respect). I guarantee you there are shadier people than yourself out there fishing for higher profile jobs. You control the means of production in a new economic era and as such you get to make a choice for the people you work for or with so why not take advantage of that. In addition, there's a good chance that this field will expand and your early involvement will become an additional credential.
