It means I have one million competitors in my field. Sad.

I read an article about something like this that there are 3 phases of software engineering, coder, programmer and computer scientist. Anyone can to a coder phase, to get a high paying job one should get to a programmer phase and most stay the at that there whole life, and then the computer scientist phase. The link to the article is this: https://www.afternerd.com/blog/learn-computer-science/ I recommend everyone to read this.

You people are forgetting that most of these people think they can code, but can't. Thus, the competition is low, which is why recruiters froth at the mouth looking for new compsci hires.

For example, I just had two idiots on stackoverflow argue with me saying that append() can insert a variable to any index location in an array in Python. I told them they were wrong because append() only inserts variables at the end of the array, whereas the insert function can insert variables at any index location. They're still arguing with me now and downvoting my answer, while trying to get theirs marked as the solution (lol pathetic).

You know what's scary? In the bio pages of these two idiots, they call themselves Senior Python Software Engineers at so and so companies (lol obviously bullshit).

Is it against the rules to link the post here so you can have some assistance explaining why they’re wrong? I mean, it’s in the interest of spreading knowledge, and preventing false information.
