Discussion on: How does being a programmer affects your world view?

I don't know how to express that without sounding like an a**, but I do believe that programming has an effect on general logic and therefore leads to fairness which again tends to bring out a more ethical worldview. Additionally, I feel it provides somewhat of a protection against unfounded claims. So in a certain sense, I would go as far as to say coding has made me less prone to what we used to call propaganda and what we now either call fake news or public relations.

Maybe dealing with so much logic and causation every day makes us more pragmatic? I think that is a nice thing, but maybe there's also a drawback to that that we are unable to see. 🤔

Always a possibility, isn't it?
