CrazyDev's definitions
A website where over enthusiastic programmers and entrepreneurs ("hackers", as they call it) gather and rediscover old ideas thinking they are novel and congratulate each other in the process. They have "curious" conversations, which is a euphemism for a contest of who can use the most convoluted sequence of words to describe terrible ideas that go nowhere. They share articles and news stories with each other, with the added flavor of grandiose commentary. There is ritual of babysitting new users and reminding them to be gentle and not commit heinous acts such as challenging their terrible ideas.

Get the Hacker Newsmug. A user of the programming language Go, created by Google. The brain behind the language basically describes Gophers as retarded children and I quote "They’re typically, fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python. They’re not capable of understanding a brilliant language but we want to use them to build good software. So, the language that we give them has to be easy for them to understand and easy to adopt."

Get the Gophermug. A derogatory term generally used for web developers; but mostly for a specific breed of web devs that never built non-trivial projects that are not web related, or used something other than web stack. They usually think that JS and Electron ( that whole stack) are the best thing since sliced bread, or more immorally, they think JS is a decent language. They jerk each other off whenever a new framework that does yet another anti-feature in a very convoluted way is introduced.
Oh, for fuck's sake, the webshits are losing their shit over a new JS framework that apparently helps you add left padding.
