And let's be honest: that's a thing we - as people in tech - brought on ourselves. We framed coding as this super hard and complicated thing that only super brains are able to do. Only we, the all-knowing nerds could do this magic! And so we pushed a lot of people out. And that's the people who now enjoy being able to "make" their cool little own apps and scripts.

@CyReVolt@mastodon.social @kristinHenry@vis.social @bleeptrack@vis.social When people ask me I usually say: "It's not hard, it's just a lot, but you can have already fun with very little" So there needs to be some commitment.

@bleeptrack@vis.social literally all the problems that happened with "off shoring"

@bleeptrack@vis.social I agree, you are watching a computer code and have no clue what's going on

@bleeptrack@vis.social totally agree, but if I could politely change one thing, they aren't slapping code together (😂👏) until it works, but until it appears to work. They have no idea what else it's doing that they haven't noticed or where it might break

@bleeptrack@vis.social This is along the same lines as "I've got Photoshop, I'm a graphic designer." As though the talent, skill, education and experience are optional downloads that are included in the price.

@bleeptrack@vis.social Hiring implies delegating work to someone who knows how to do it. I would compare it to renting a tool. And if you cannot code you cannot interpret the tool's output, if it's correct or not.
