Does it person think that programming is like cooking vegetables ? I am tired of people treating programming like some vocational trade subject - or something that can be picked up over the weekend. Being a good programmer in any sub-domain, either it be web, robotics, javascript, python, C++ requires a lot of study. The attrition rate for any serious subject - accounting, medicine, engineering, etc is really high. How are people expecting programming to always be simple and low paid ? Its professional work just like accounting, medicine and any traditional engineering. < Insert Basic CURD App meme joke >
