Someone on Metafilter(?) once suggested a high overlap between IT personnel and libertarians.
It has been interesting to consider but after decades of observation I don't think it's a political thing-- I think tech attracts a disproportionate number of textbook Narcissists.
Those fuckers crave power. We have absolute control over entire ecosystems. At first it's freedom for all, but then we turn into dictators regarding our governance of it.
In the end it becomes Domain Admin rights for me, principle of least privilege for thee.
