You can choose to be Christian or not, you can not choose to be gay or not, and someone asking you to use their preferred pronouns is not nonsense, and getting fired for showing rampant disrespect towards your peers based on them simply existing seems fair to me.
What happened to hckrnews in the last few years, I'm seeing more and more of this kind of BS.
I would say that learning the basics of programming (if then for while functions classes structs etc) is easy and anyone can do it. Learning to think like a programmer is harder but also not super difficult IME.
Being a programmer. Doing it for a living. Getting good at the craft of programming and learning the foot guns and ins and outs of your chosen language/stack/framework. That’s hard. And time consuming.
