Ask HN: Where is the programming language ladder of awareness essay?
Some years ago there was an essay which described a developer's perspective as they learned more languages.
It was represented as a ladder, whereby more experienced developers could see their level and the levels (languages) below them.
I thought it was Paul Graham, but now I cannot find it.
Does anyone know the essay I speak of and can offer a link to it?

- blunte 5y agoYes! Thank you, this is exactly it. Apparently I indexed this in my mind with the word "ladder", but now I'll just remember "The Blub Paradox".
