Look at how Truth Social, Parler and their ilk have fared.
Maybe there's a connection between really bad at writing software and being right wing?
Horace, Ax, Klaus - care to comment?

I'm not sure whether there is any meaningful correlation between political leanings and programmer ability, but I think the more important influence here is that if you are a good programmer, you would hesitate to work at places like Parler because it damages your career.

I can assure you that it is exactly the opposite.
No question

I have divorced my job duties as much as possible from writing good code. To this day I write zero unit tests and nobody complains about it. Win. Being a good programmer is utterly tedious.

That sucks. Misstep for Apple to be making those noises IMO.
In an unrelated note, Sam Harris’ Twitter account seems to be gone. Maybe just a glitch. He’s been asking “tough questions” similar to the Milo question.

Apple hates App Developers
Really Hates them
I have no idea why, the developers make them a fortune.

That’s not the reason. He just didn’t like the way Twitter and its negativity was affecting his perception of people.

In which he admits his disgust reflex overwhelms his reason, even as he understands rationally that it shouldn't. That's how I've always described the psychologies of TDS sufferers, as Sam is. I guess it's inevitable that humans will respect their own disgust reflex, rather than question it. It's our "full stop" emotion.
