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.
