politics in tech
Can't help but notice that conservative/fascist/etc. software developers seem to consistently be hyping up the same technologies and frameworks, and I'm not talking about the well-known hypes like "AI" or "cryptocurrency" here.
They're also disproportionately technologies that don't actually do anything new or better, but rather have shinier marketing than the thing they claim to 'replace'.

@joepie91 Can you give an example of such a technology?

@hyperreal Sure. Bun is one that shows up a lot. Likewise Vercel.

@hyperreal (But this is a pattern I've been noticing throughout hype cycles, and rather than specific technologies, it seems to be the *class* of technologies where the overlap lies, these are just currently being hyped up)

@joepie91 Thank you! That helps me put it into context. 🙂
