lol. This silly elitism needs to die.


Why, because all programming endeavours are equally hard or important, and all programmers have equal skills?


In this make believe scenario, the world is divided neatly into opposing camps of "competent devs" and "enterprise CRUD devs". It's dismissive, cheap analysis at its best. It's a straw man whose only real purpose is to embolden us with a smug sense of superiority.


It's also empirically correct.

I've worked for enterprise.

Also I didn't say it is divided "neatly". Why do people always assume that when you talk about a group of people being Y, all of them must be Y?

It's enough that the statistical majority of them be Y (e.g 90% of enterprise developers not really knowing about the wider world outside enterprise software practices). That there will be exceptions it's obvious -- there are exceptions everywhere.
