What does that mean? Suit and tie? Clean shaven, short back and sides?
- MollyR 12y agoI guess not professional appearance but professional standards. Ex.I might expect a professional python programmer to follow PEP8 code style. I think rather than coding like boy or coding like girl, we should be aspiring to be professional or at least competent . That's the far bigger and inclusive problem.
- kazinator 12y agoProfessional means getting paid, but there is a nuance of doing a proper job to deserve pay (even if there is no pay); a FOSS project that hasn't received even a dime in donations can be professionally developed.
