    Markup languages are a data format, not a fucking programming language. This fucking twit probably spends his time looking for fucking syntax errors and thinks he's hot shit. He would have a fucking nervous breakdown if he had to do my job (software engineer; currently reading, interpreting, and documenting an awful legacy project in a dead language) for even one fucking day, and I literally never complain when people mess up my food orders (which happens a lot, because I hate onions and they're in basically everything).

        Oh absolutely. I actually do think programming isn't for everyone (it's one of my biggest criticisms of the whole learn2code thing; not everyone thinks in a way that's conducive to programming, and it can be extremely stressful to be desperately looking for the cause of a nasty bug as a deadline approaches), but that in no way justifies looking down on food-service workers--and this guy isn't even actually doing anything genuinely challenging to begin with!

          yeah and also learn2code, along with being an easy dismissal, is an attempt to make what is right now a very desired and high paying job into a flooded market with low wages
