Am I the only one who reads this as selfish, juvenile elitism?
Here's how I see it: Programming is a relatively young discipline. It's not really that hard, we just make it artificially difficult with bad tools, and artificially exclusive with various first world and Anglo-centric measures. We desperately need fresh perspectives. Most of what is built is rebuilt, constantly, with new bugs. As a profession, we tend to lack insight. We need more eyes, particularly fresh eyes, not 'experienced', elitist code-Rabbis.
