    I don't understand. There's loads of programmer culture out there. We share opinions, jokes and memes, we go to conventions, small and large, we collaborate all the time, we create art like Brainfuck, demos and little games. That's just from the top of my head, and I don't even consider myself a proper programmer.

    Sure, there are programmers who are just assembling boring code, but that's probably true for any creative job.

      yeah, codegolf, 4kb or other size challenges, demo scenes, quines, its actually kind of mind boggling how many things ive come across and im only a hobbyist. but i suppose if my job was to collaborate on archaic x++ projects or some enterprise thing, i wouldnt have had fun dabbling half of that stuff.

    Building and maintaining software is so much work, I always feel like I have more ideas than time to implement them.
