@nicklockwood@_Jordan Kind of true. It's more about making programming slightly easier for programmers. -
@nicklockwood@_Jordan But is there a belief that the field would be better without coders as there is for designers? -
@nicklockwood@_Jordan If anything I see the opposite. Everyone is encouraged to be sophisticated about code. -
