looks like a form of waifu page.
There's a lot of overlap between the anime fan "weeb" group and the hobby programmer group.

And it's funny because, there are almost no anime about programming.

Like the pictures of the feminine person ordering a ticket for Oppenheimer and the tough scary person ordering a ticket for Barbie

I have a few of the Manga Guide books and I haven't found them so great for the way I learn. The Manga Guide books are in a kind of "Plato's dialogue" style which I find off-putting but, for people who like ideas presented that way, it might be fun.

"Здравствуйте, это канал об аниме?" (is this the anime channel?)

"Как мне пропатчить KDE2 под FreeBSD?" (how does one patch KDE2 under FreeBSD?)

It's a longstanding association. Overly-online people have overly-online-people hobbies. If you like anime you probably like programming, and vice-versa.

Wait until someone tells you about the programming socks: https://knowyourmeme.com/editorials/guides/what-are-programm...
