Mixed feelings about this. Because on one hand, removing barriers to entry is fantastic. But on the other, I’m not sure whether this is an obstacle that’s actually necessarily gatekeeping or not.

In my CS class in high school, we were quizzed with programs with misleading syntax so that we’d actually develop the skills to read the actual code. I still don’t know if this is actually good pedagogy or not, but it is a skill I put to regular use when I’m coding.
