Comment on: Learning to program is getting harder

To a point, I think Python is the new basic. Even though I am not a huge fan of Java, I think it is better to start learning.

A. It has direct application in one of the fastest growing sectors: app development

B. It's syntax is similar enough to many, many languages which are also descendants of C meaning you can pick up C, C++, C# and many other languages without too much difficulty. The transition from Python to C-like languages is NOT that smooth.

Comment on: Please dont learn to code

Stupid article. Even if you don't plan to get a programming job, it is still worth knowing some code. For example if you want to be automate some batch job or you need a quick n dirty custom program for whatever reason. Besides learning to code will actually improve your logical thinking skills. IOW there are plenty of reason to know how to code besides seeking a programming job. You don't need to go to any "bootcamp" either .. it is very possible to learn yourself

Why does /u/roznak keep posting so much anti-programming stuff in this sub all the time? It is hardly relevant to /v/programming and I have gotten to the point where I just about automatically downvote it.

Our open source community prioritizes marginalized people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort. We will not act on complaints regarding:

‘Reverse’ -isms, including ‘reverse racism,’ ‘reverse sexism,’ and ‘cisphobia’

Reasonable communication of boundaries, such as “leave me alone,” “go away,” or “I’m not discussing this with you”

Refusal to explain or debate social justice concepts

Communicating in a ‘tone’ you don’t find congenial

Criticizing racist, sexist, cissexist, or otherwise oppressive behavior or assumptions
