Someone in an Architect role here. IMHO programming is programming. So in practice: if you can proof to me in any way that you will actually make my job easier instead of harder (which basically means you are able to write easy to understand, thought out code and you are able to deliver in the timeframe we agreed on), and you are a nice addition to my team humanwise (which in practice means that you do not behave like an asshole, and leave politics out of work) then you get a thumbs up from me. But anyway, this is me. Other people might have other opinions.
