@chainq I disagree completely with the democratisation though. Programming has been _very_ democratic for a long time. The barriers to entry are very low (books, internet, cheap raspberry pi etc). Like writing or drawing, you can just do it. The _only_ barrier is commitment and a willingness to accept a challenge. What's different is that unlike art, the _human voice_ isn't really that important in code. folks just want it to work :/

@chainq Regardless, I'm sorry you feel that way. I think I feel the same about it. I'm not entirely sure how I'll weather the change. I'm still going with a bucket-list-hobby project I want done, but I'll likely shift to a security or science role for a job instead of programming. It'll suck for a bit but there will be a silver lining somewhere I think :)
