Programming is the only profession I know of where people do these ritual put downs of themselves and their work.

“Programming isn’t hard”

“Anyone can learn to code”

“Programming is modern day plumbing”

“I’m really stupid and a professional programmer, it must be a dumb profession”

This post feels especially jaded and anti-intellectual. Writing simple code isn’t stupid, why be so harsh on yourself?
