Unfortunately this will become accurate history even though it is not accurate at all.
In the 1960s and 70s: “Aspiring male professionals wanted in, but they didn’t want to be associated with lowly coding clerks. To elevate themselves, they emphasized the esoteric nature of their discipline, deriving professional authority from individualism, personal creativity, and an obscure, almost arcane, skill set.”
Does it at all matter that by the 60s and 70s the complexity of programming and software was immensely larger than programming in the 40s?
