This says something important that I've been thinking for a while, though I couldn't conjure the words as well myself. > The sad truth is that something essential gets lost in all of this everyone-can-do-it-yay-lets-all-code euphory. This attitude has been wearing on me as well. Although we shouldn't self-aggrandize, it's hard to do this work well, and so many don't do it well. And I realize that yay-everyone-can-do-it is a correction to the insularity and shitty forms of exclusivity that developed in some areas of software development, but it's sadly not the whole truth. And you can't really say this without being a "hater" and so forth, especially in the Javascript community. They're very self-congratulatory about their community's ethic of acceptance, which is of course a wonderful thing. But there is no space to offer a viewpoint counter to this or to say "yeah but...". I suppose this will change in time.
