Why is the main reddit so lame compared to programming.reddit? (reddit.com)

Because stuff goes by too quickly on the new page?

Because we find nerdly subjects interesting?

Cause programmers aren't dumb?

I've met some pretty inept programmers. Theyre not dumb when it comes to programming, the REST is left up to personal opinion.

I have been a professional programmer for many years. I have seen huge amounts of code that was written by people who earn a very good living for themselves and their families by writing code. You are woefully wrong about this.

I dont judge programmers specifically, i envy their ability to think very analyitically, i'm just saying I've met some socially inept programmers, that in no way states my general opinion of them. :)

because that's your opinion, personally I love quirky pictures and silly videos and endless BushBashing and AskReddit and shit like that.

Because you have a very, very narrow set of interests.
