I have a separate programming account but I find most of the programming subs are just so much so-so blog post upvoted with what is really kinda a crappy tutorial / blogspam / resume fodder / and folks are all "gee thanks!". I'm fairly sure you could post something with broken code and it would get a bunch of "great link" posts and votes if it promised to do something neat. No way anyone actually read about them and thought about them, but they get spammed and upvoted endlessly. The thoughtful stuff beyond that is often just veiled insecurity / gate-keeping.

I wish the programming related subs were a bit more curated / moderated, particularly web development related, but that's not the reddit way in general.

I like college football so r/cfb is nice.

I'm on a bit of a down cycle on reddit as may of my long time subs are now large enough that I don't want to read them and they're dominated by hot takes and garbage.
