You're in a Code Cult (And That's OK)
In the world of software development, programming languages and frameworks are more than just tools—they can become badges of identity and sources of near-religious devotion. In this talk, we explore how developers often form "dev tribes" around their favorite languages, complete with rituals, jargon, and fierce loyalty.
Drawing from themes in anthropology and tech culture, this session will examine both the positive and negative consequences of these tribal affiliations. On one hand, they foster community and innovation, but on the other, they can lead to exclusion, gatekeeping, and rigid dogma.
Through humor and ethnographic analysis, this talk will shed light on how the lines between culture and code blur, offering an amusing and thought-provoking look at the world of programming fanatics. Expect to laugh, reflect, and maybe even recognize yourself in these "dev tribes" by the end!
