Not everything should be beginner friendly. Trying to nerf things because they are not beginner friendly should not be how tools/patterns of languages are designed.

Its ok to have more advanced topic that require more knowledge and that people don’t understand from the first moment they see them.

Hot take: people who don’t like code reviews have never been part of a good code review culture.

People who insist on using semicolons in Javascript don’t understand why and are just following a cargo cult.

Remove the semicolons, be free.

Edit: lmao I hit some nerve here

That the entire industry is cyclical and the current trends are yesterday’s anarcisms. Oop Vs functional, separating concerns Vs vertical slices, there’s examples all over the place.

All of this has happened before and all of this will happen again.

Python is only good for short programs

Having fun when programming should be much more important than having correct or fast code when you’re a programmer and should be what we should aim for first.

A lot of programmers need to work on their soft skills.

Python is stupid. Using non printable characters as anything other than token separation is just asking for trouble.

I actually like C.

That ML is just a paradigm and won’t do much of what people believe it eventually will.

DRY means Do Repeat Yourself, when the alternative is cooking up some awful OOP abstraction

Not everyone can or even should learn programming.
