Some of the very worst of the worst liberal takes, apologia for fascist shit, and of course cryptobro grifts and even Tesla worship keep coming from there. It’s fucked.

I don’t want to say all programmers or tech workers are like that, but I don’t like what I’ve seen so far from people with a .programming suffix on their names. disgost

    Because they have the engineering knowledge to make bombs, tell others make bombs, or to do infrastructural damage. It seems a fairly straight forward mechanism of causation.

    so is the assumption here ISIS or whatever is gonna turn down your application if you’re an accountant or something

      Dear 7bicycles,

      Thank you for your application to ISIS. We appreciate the time and effort you put into your application, but we regret to inform you that your application has been declined.

      After careful consideration, we have decided that your background and experience as an accountant do not align with the specific requirements of ISIS at this time. We are looking for candidates with a strong engineering background, and as an accountant, you do not have the necessary qualifications for this position.

      We understand that this news may be disappointing, but we hope that you will not be discouraged from pursuing your goals. We encourage you to continue to apply for other opportunities that may be a better fit for your skills and experience.

      Thank you again for your interest in ISIS, and we wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

      Sincerely,
      Bruja
      ISIS Recruiting Team

      That is not the assumption. You’re obviously less likely to be involved any crimes labelled as ‘extremist’ or ‘terrorist’ if your skills lie in accountancy.

        Well yes, all the position get filled by engineers apparently. I just don’t think it’s because they’re more useful, I don’t think the ISIS recruitment program is that sophisticated
