I don't think the "developer subculture" is clearly bounded or uniform geographically. You state that the developer subculture has stayed with pro-meritocracy but I think it has changed.

Where could we find a definition to check that we were referring to the same thing?

View on HN

From the internal forums at Google, from what I see online and have seen offline.

Modern progressive anti-meritocracy people might be loud, but they are a small minority, even at Google at the height of progressivism there you would see pro-meritocracy views winning out strongly among developers. You also see it here, I feel most here on HN are pro meritocracy. There are some progressives around who go into every thread about the topic and post a lot, but meritocracy views and topics tend to get upvoted.
