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

[Sam Livingston-Gray]

You might also like Ruby Rogues #273(?), in which I talked to Aurynn about the topic; she's continued developing those ideas in a more recent conf talk (which I haven't had a chance to watch, but—because it's Aurynn—I feel comfortable saying will be worthwhile).

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.
