Computer programming discussion for all skill levels. Your post history here is publicly searchable — here's what you need to know about the risks and how to protect yourself.

Common Risks in r/Programming
Here are the specific risks associated with having a public post history in this community:
Incorrect code or bad advice you gave can hurt your technical credibility
Strong language preferences (tabs vs. spaces, etc.) can seem petty to employers
Outdated opinions on frameworks or languages may conflict with current best practices
Condescending responses to beginners can reflect poor teamwork skills

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bulk delete all my r/Programming posts at once?
Yes. Karmdit lets you bulk delete all your r/Programming posts and comments in minutes. You can filter by date, karma score, or subreddit to target only your r/Programming history, then delete in bulk — no manual one-by-one deletion required.
Will deleting my r/Programming posts affect my karma?
Deleting posts removes the votes associated with them, so your karma score will decrease by the net upvotes those posts had. However, protecting your privacy and professional reputation is typically more valuable than Reddit karma points.
Is Karmdit safe to use for r/Programming post deletion?
Yes. Karmdit uses Reddit's official API, operates within Reddit's rate limits, and never stores your Reddit credentials. Over 500,000 users have safely used Karmdit without a single account ban.
Can I recover posts after deleting them from r/Programming?
No — Reddit deletion is permanent. Karmdit shows you a preview of everything that will be deleted before you confirm, so you can review and exclude any posts you want to keep. Always review before deleting.
