This was super fun to browse!

I am a bit curious about the amount of politically progressive stickers however. Like, is sticker-ing your laptop just more of a 'progressive' thing to do? Do political conservatives not sticker their laptops in the same way that they generally do with their bumper stickers?

Do you have examples? If anything there have been cases of left aligned activist employees being fired from companies like Google not too long ago. Or cases like Basecamp where they asked people to avoid politics at work or leave the company.

Well he wrote a memo saying the women at Google were "neurotic" and that's why women biologically are predisposed to not be software engineers.

If that's conservative ideology, then I guess it is fair to say such ideology might not be appropriate for a workplace. In reality, he just said stupid stuff to be provocative, and tried to post-hoc justify it as vilifying conservatives instead.
