Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Coders at the most evil companies like Meta, OpenAI, Google, Tiktok, Amazon, Palantir are majority Asian (~60% according to some of these companies diversity reports, mostly east and south) and massively disproportionately immigrant/foreign from developing countries, probably representing ~30% (from my own observations). Disproportionately trans too but still a tiny proportion of the population

And contrary to popular belief, engineers at these companies have tons of autonomy. They're not just simply following orders. Leadership sets general strategy and high level goals but engineers are often times responsible for ideating the actual features to deliver. I've seen way more low level engineers and product managers come up with evil fucked up features than leadership has

The most evil CEOs and financiers are massively disproportionately (white) gay men, and even in executive positions at tech companies have a ton of (white) gay men
