[LRUG] Trying to locate a blog post referenced on LRUG chat

[Kaitlyn Tierney]

I’m guessing you’re thinking of this one Roland linked to, which says exactly that.

However, I just wanted to throw in a mention of this talk by Sacha Judd that’s pretty related to the same idea and is excellent, in case you haven’t seen it: http://www.sachajudd.com/one-direction/ <http://www.sachajudd.com/one-direction/>

At some point in the last year I'm pretty sure someone on LRUG linked to a fascinating blog post that was a rant about when coders start hating on other people's technology stacks. It pointed out that for people who don't come into coding through computer science degrees, a fairly common route is setting up something simple like a blog, then hacking around with Wordpress plugins to customise it, then learning a bit more about coding with PHP and taking it from there. It then argued that people who take that route tend to be more diverse than the typical CS demographic, and if people in the industry industry keep on being school-playground-level nasty about languages like PHP just because they're not the language they're most used to, we'll stifle diversity by discouraging people taking route in to the industry.
