I have found the opposite in rural Michigan (northern US). My wife’s family has a vacation home, and skilled tradespeople are slightly cheaper around there. The place is more than an hour from any large towns, but 30 minutes from several small towns.
Maybe population is distributed differently here due to the way infrastructure is funded?
I have met one trans developer in the last 35 plus years, and I have worked at a lot of different places. I am based in the Midwestern US.
Is this more a European thing?
I was wondering what on earth the programmer socks memes were about. I guess there must be enough people somewhere to make this meme-worthy.
I came back here to say “It says right on their home page that it’s open source.” :-) I installed it & I’m running the importer now to see how well it handles large numbers of notes. Thanks much for the tip!
No but you got the city right. 🙂
I have a similar experience, but even with people in southern Ohio and Kentucky (where a lot of my current co-workers are), there is the opposite of a conservative tech-bro trend.
Where are you? My experience has been that most developers are obsessed with programming and politically liberal. I’m in the midwest, though, so maybe things are not so rosy on the west coast. It could also just be one person’s experience, but I have worked at a lot of different places in the last 35 years.
I couldn’t read this article. It is badly a need of a spelling and grammar check.
It’s not too smelly, but it’s not completely benign either.
I don’t think that is true. It wasn’t a majority. (Although that’s a nitpick, it was close enough to say that about half of all voters voted for Trump.)
A more important consideration is that the majority of people who did vote for him are incredibly naive when it comes to politics. They think that the president sets gas prices, or that Trump and Musk are geniuses because they say they are. Most of them feel disenfranchised by both political parties, and this is a brick through the window of the established order. I don’t think most of the electorate thought this through much beyond that.
I honestly don’t know what difference it will make in the long run, but I don’t think it is true to say that this is what most people wanted.
Yep. Detroit has this, too.
