Anybody out there work for a technical company that is rooted in conservative values? Is wanting to find a company like that a "unicorn" request?
I'm not going to dox myself. I work for a small college in a red state, and I'd welcome any messages that might offer direction on career options that might be fulfilling. I'd basically call myself a "Junior Web Developer" although, I'd consider myself decently above a junior level and no way near a senior level. I have a decent hand in Drupal. It's a great CMS with a great community, although it (like all tech) has a large amount of liberalism. I've touched a variety of languages over the years when the need arose, but I'm not a master of any language. Again, I don't want to dox myself, but I'll say that I probably don't get any "quota bonus" points. I'm a little burnt out. Are there many nerd frogs out there that love what they do in a the web development or programming career circles?

I'm re-posting this. It was posted a couple of days ago here by Starsbottomleft. I am re-posting, hoping that a better title will get better visibility and more discussion. I personally see this as an end to the need for community colleges, and a significant blow to 4-year universities. Basically large universities only up-sell would be Master's level degrees. It seems that this would make a zero barrier to entry for educational tracks, and would crush the financial machine that pushes debt on younger generations. I think there are lots of questions to ask here, but I find this very hopeful.
I know there are mixed opinions on Rogan. I've enjoyed his podcast for years. I was pleasantly surprised to see Oliver Anthony on. I'm just starting to watch myself. Here is a clip on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hH75fQ3SVO8
Below is a simple javascript code snippet that can be used with a js injection plugin (varies by browser) to insert an additional sort option, to see which topics have the most comment activity relative to the posts on a page load. I'm not sure if anyone will find this useful, but I wanted a quick way to sort the posts that show on the 1st page of /rising by comment count in descending order. It should work on other win sites, but may break as the site is subtly updated. I'm a long time lurker who never posts, but though someone might find this useful. Apologies in advance if js code gets flagged or doesn't render properly and this post doesn't actually show the code.
The code was messed up when posting. I added the code here
If anyone has any suggestions on how to properly post this, I will edit this post accordingly.
