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.
