In years past, I frequently found that techie oriented sites tended to lean libertarian (or "classical liberal") more than "liberal" (in the modern sense). In the early days of HN there was a much more markedly libertarian bias here (IMO). Hardly surprising though, given that at one time there was such a close association between tech and libertarian thought that people coined the term Technolibertarianism[1].
But it seems to me that the zeitgeist here has drifted more towards the "liberal" camp over the past few years.
