A Reddit subreddit where the developers annoyed by and tired of the grandiose and circlejerk that programmers showcase online gather and take the circlejerk to another level, in a meta fashion. The ritual usually involves "jerking" to selected material, and taking pleasure in it; it's exactly what it sounds like. The most commonly mocked subjects include Rust Evangalists, Gophers, webshits, functional purists, vim/emacs fans, C purists, and people who think they are "10x programmers" or that there is even such a thing. Their favorite jerking material is usually sourced from Hacker News, r/programming, and lobste.rs.

They don't tag the people being mocked, they "point and laugh from behind a soundproof one-way mirror" making it one the few circlejerk subs where harassing other communities and vote brigading doesn't occur. In fact, tagging the user whose content is being linked or mentioning the subreddit outside is a bannable offense.

A mythical creature that mostly lives in the heads of people who frequent online forums like Hacker News, or suffered brain hemorrhage due to the insane amount of LeetCode they engaged in. This creature is usually a developer that supposedly produces 10 times the output of the average developer, and they are usually found (according to the legend) doing some useful task (mainly figuring out how to add another abusive way to increase ad clicks) at FAANG and similar enterprises.
Santa and 10xers are very popular characters.
