About the Myth 1:
I actually think the other way around: as soon as you start writing a program or even learning how to program, you are a programmer.
And that's why I absolutely dislike questions like:


How to become a programmer?
How to become an artist?
How to become etc. etc..

But as always - great content and thoughts!

Jonathan - do you think there is a 'gap' in the market as such for tech-agnostic forum where developers can get together and discuss the profession, I'm talking at medium/higher level e.g. architecture and tech stack choices for different problems, maybe career guidance and discussing different books/online courses etc...perhaps such a forum already exists? I don't think Stack Overflow is quite right and I would prefer a more 'traditional' web forum layout than something like Reddit.
