Its weird to see how the field gets divided into "computer science" and "coding".
In coding the act of typing code, networking, and teaching Joe Shmoe how to build a website is paramount. It doesn't require any real skill, doesn't solve hard or important problems, but everybody can feel good afterwards.
- mauricemir 11y agoIf your looking for a site to discuss full on technical programming (aka real Programming) your on the wrong site here. And back in the day CS was considered the soft option real Engineers had done physics or EE Degrees.
- j-pb 11y agoThis is not a critique of HN. Just the realisation that there exist some sub community in the computer world where you can be "one of the most powerful people in coding" without any history of contributing to open source projects whatsoever. https://github.com/lindaliukas https://github.com/lindaliukas
