I'm trying to imagine a "Facebook for programmers" and it doesn't play out well in my mind. The closest thing I use is a selected set of subreddits as a multireddit that has some programming languages and programming topics. Other than that HN has good discussions with posts being semi-related initiators. I'm not interested in any social aspects other than the discussions themselves, though I imagine with repeated discussions with the same people there would be a sense of community which seems about the right amount of socializing for me.

We have LinkedIn and it has turned out to be a shitshow for everyone except marketroids and recruiterons. Any specialized social network is going to get polluted with people looking to hire subjects of that network, while those same people hold little or no qualifications to be on that network themselves.
