The year is 2026 and the only thing about coding that matters anymore is taste.

- pron 3mo agoIt's not necessarily the thing that matters most to executives, who are often those making decisions, but it's always been the thing that mattered most to programmers (at least those of them who have any emotions or strong preferences toward programming languages).
- jeltz 3mo agoPretty sure you could have said the same in 1986 and I know for sure you could have in 2006. Not sure why you think people having different tastes is new.
- fruit2020 3mo agoPeople also stopped coding in 2006?

- flohofwoe 3mo agoDifferent tastes are aguable the only reason why different programming languages exist. They're all Turing complete after all.
