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.
Oh,
fuck! A link to my content made it to the front page of r/programmingcirclejerk, I should reach for the
garbage collector and clean up that
shit.
