wondering why IT professionals seem so overrepresented in buddhism and similar contemplative traditions. @Meaningness might say "access to kegan 4" but why then not biologists, etc? anyone have any ideas? @chaosprime

So it's not just STEM, it's specifically IT?

seems to me, in my experience, yes

And maybe it’s partially related to the question of gradient that STEM practitioners view their work as art or science.

ah, so IT professionals may see their work closer to the art spectrum than others. i also see artists overrepresented, which makes more sense (kind of?)

I’m not sure. I don’t like the title “IT professional”. Probably ego reaction. Everything can be art once mastered. Possible that those whose career involves constantly smashing into reality/constraints are more amenable to giving up / seeing the constraints as illusory.

Replying to @danielcrenna @Meaningness
yeah, i tried to tell Noelle that calling coders that will get her in trouble because people use it to mean helpdesk techs, which is absolutely ego reaction, but i try to just suck it up because *technically* what i do is technology that is greatly concerned with information

Does this mean we should replace “code ninja” with “code buddha” ?

Replying to @chaosprime @jefflowrey and
“Looking for a code buddha to join our startup, abandon all worldly possessions (including equity). No desk or chair provided, but that’s a perk!”
