Episode Synopsis

Ever been told that your favorite programming language isn't 'real programming'? Or that front-end development is just 'playing with colors'? In this episode, we dive into the peculiar world of programming elitism, where developers create arbitrary hierarchies of what counts as 'real' coding. We'll explore why some programmers feel the need to gatekeep their craft and discuss the impact of these artificial divisions. Whether you're writing Assembly or Scratch, Python or PHP, join us as we break down why all code has value and how we can build a more inclusive tech community.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@1xDeveloperPodcastX/Twitter: https://x.com/1xDevPodcastEmail: [email protected]
