Putting yourself (and others) into a very defined box does good to nobody. There are many programmers who at artistic as there are great artists who are also good programmers, I found what matters (for the most part) is where one decides to

It is incorrect to blame everything onto some entity, otherwise we'll miss the real things due to being desensitised. It's a version of boy who cried wolf but crying Russia.

We believed that the craft was typing the code while the real skill is to create something solving someone's problem. Whether that's done by punching holes in cards, writing esoteric letter combinations decided back in the 80s or

Nope 350-375C. You want to have higher temperature on the tip to be able to melt it reliably. Look it up, also I discovered that 350C is not double as hot as 175C, actually just 25% more.
