There was some discussion on Twitter on whether HTML is a programming language or not, flame war ensued. Many aspiring developers choose frontend (and by extension, JS) as their first piece of the stack yet are ostracized by others because of the frontend ecosystem's baggage.

From the outside this sounds more like a "the wrong kind of crowd" type of problem. There are many communities that have fruitful and interesting discussions and are accommodating and friendly to newcomers, beginners and the like. Usually whether "HTML is a programming language" and whether people come from bootcamps or universities are not hot topics or discussed at all.
