    Like r/programmerhumor, this community is already full of people who literally never programmed anything more than Hello World before.

      And just like Reddit you’re complaining about it for absolutely no reason. How about we try to be a bit more welcoming and a bit less gatekeepery.

      programming hello world is doing better than most people and I applaud and welcome beginners.

      I am little more than an amateur myself, entirely self taught, and yet I’m forever digging into various bits of code for my marketing job, because paying someone $400 to fix a recalcitrant css style in a week and a half is worse than just doing it myself.
