It's a shitty monoculture mostly filled with a particular demographic (like most new and obscure tech things), the people who program computers, and the people who they meet at parties.

This would disappear with more widespread usage. The problem is the software, not the culture. If the software is improved, or the dead ends are pruned and something else is created that learns the lessons from previous tries, the new cultures will bury the old.

If building software required experts on model trains or K-pop, the culture would suck, too. The goal is to make that a stage rather than an endpoint.

edit: I enjoy model trains, but I do not get into political or social discussions with model train guys.
