My experience has been that people reflect geography more than their profession. If you're in Silicon Valley, you're bound to encounter a ton of leftists. If you talk to computer engineers in Oklahoma, not so much. Of course the average is weighted towards coastal elites, so there's probably more of them tbh. But there's also a lot of overlap with gamers who tend to be reactionary.
Libertarianism isn't really either thing. You have left-libertarians and you have those that are conservatives. The main thing that's happened, that Elon Musk alluded to recently is that the woke, mainstream left, which isn't really even a hard left, has become anti-libertarian. As in, they literally hate liberty.
