One of the most salient features of our Tech Hiring culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted.
whenever you have humans with different goals that are not oviously compatible, you have politics, i.e. some kind of processes to resolve the contradictions inside the society
those process are typically not very efficient and satisfying, but they are way better than the Brute Force alternative that will inevitably follows if no process is in place to resolve the contradictions. Brute Force is not an algorithm here, it's something that you should take that seriously and literally.
back to your question:
you can have software without politics if what devs do doesn't really impact anyone in some negative important ways. you do a tool that is valuable to your users and that others don't care about.
you can have software eating the world and disrupting everything
but both together? that's laughable
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
